About this map

Tarkio River and its various tributaries define this section of Atchison County, where the landscape is carved by water into a series of drainages including Middle Tarkio Creek, West Tarkio Creek, and Little Tarkio Creek. The topography is marked by notable depressions such as Deadmans Hollow in the northeast. This modern survey reflects a primarily agricultural and rural layout, organized by a strict grid of section roads like 160 ST and 240 ST.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks preserved on the map, including Center Grove Cem and Prairie Hill Cem. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Gould Peterson Municipal Airport and a network of state routes including State Hwy M and State Hwy N, which facilitate movement across the dissected loess hills of Northwest Missouri. The inclusion of Center View Lake provides a specific point of reference for more recent land use and water management in the region.
