2014 Map of Tarkio West

About this map

Tarkio occupies the eastern edge of this landscape, its residential grid defined by streets like Broad St and Main St. The town's southern reach is anchored by the Home Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain is a network of agricultural drainage and small water bodies. The Tarkio River and Middle Tarkio Cr drain the eastern lowlands, while the central hills feature the Centerview Fishing Lake Jeff Broady Lake. This survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of Atchison County, where section-line roads such as Mo-Aa and Mo-J connect isolated farmsteads across the rolling divides of Rock Cr and Mill Cr. The layout of the town and its outlying cemeteries provides essential geographic data for those tracing local family history and the development of Northwest Missouri.
