About this map

Atchison Co Holt Co boundary line divides this landscape of agricultural sections and dissected drainage patterns. The northern reaches are defined by the winding course of Little Tarkio Cr and its tributaries, including Long Br and E Fork Little Tarkio Cr. These waterways carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of rural corridors like Hansen Ave and the grid of section roads that provide access to the surrounding farmstead plots.

Genealogical interest is centered on the Walkup Cem, a landmark situated in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle near Hickory Br. The map also captures the transition from Atchison County into Holt County along Atchison Holt Rd, where Wildcat Cr flows southward. This modern survey reflects the enduring section-line settlement patterns established in northwest Missouri during the 19th century.
