About this map

Sarcoxie anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the borders of Jasper, Newton, and Lawrence counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including Cave Spring Br, Center Creek, and several named springs such as Button Spring and Linn Spring. These water sources historically dictated the placement of rural settlements and agricultural boundaries in the region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including the Trinity Lutheran Cem and Schooling Cem. The map captures the distinct character of Dry Valley and Pleasant Valley in the southeast, areas where the topography is noticeably carved by Dry Valley Br and Center Cr. This modern survey provides a clear look at the contemporary road network, from local Lawrence County routes to the primary thoroughfares like Cimarron Rd, while preserving the location of long-standing community landmarks.
