About this map

The western edges of Tarkio define the eastern margin of this Northwest Missouri landscape, where the town street grid transitions into a sprawling agricultural network. The residential blocks, including Park St, Main St, and Walnut St, give way to the rural landscape of Atchison County. Just south of the town center lies Home Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research.

The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the Tarkio River and W Tarkio Cr, which carve through the land alongside numerous smaller tributaries like Rock Cr, Cow Br, and Volger Br. A notable landmark in the central portion of the map is Centerview Fishing Lake, situated among the rolling contours between 190 St and 200 St. The map also illustrates the section lines and township boundaries, including t65n r40w, which governed the settlement patterns of this farming region.
