About this map

The Tarkio River and its various branches, including Middle Tarkio Cr and West Tarkio Creek, dominate the drainage patterns of this Atchison County landscape. Located on the western edge of the quadrangle, the city of Tarkio serves as the regional hub, supported by the nearby Gould Peterson Municipal Airport. The terrain is defined by a dense network of sections and township lines, where local transit is managed via a grid of rural routes such as State Hwy O and State Hwy TT.

Family history researchers can find significant local landmarks such as Center Grove Cem in the north and Prairie Hill Cem further south. Notable topographical features like Deadmans Hollow and the waters of Center View Lake provide specific geographic context for the area. The map illustrates a well-established agricultural interior where smaller tributaries like Long Br and Little Tarkio Cr wind through the hills east of the main settlement.
