2017 Map of Strafford

About this map

Strafford serves as a central hub on this landscape, positioned along the historical corridor of Old Route 66 and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad. The geography is defined by the headwaters of several significant Missouri waterways, including the Pomme de Terre River, the James River, and the Little Sac River. These drainage patterns divide the terrain into distinct ridges and hollows, such as Millan Hollow, creating a complex network of small branches like Polk Spring Br and Jarrett Br. Smaller settlements and locales like Caddo, Holman, and Red Top are scattered throughout the northeastern and eastern portions of the map, often situated near family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Bumgarner Cem and Welch Cem. The presence of the Cuinche Airport near the southern boundary reflects the modern infrastructure supporting this rural Greene and Webster County border region.
