1981 Map of Tarkio West

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The town of Tarkio serves as the focal point of this northwest Missouri landscape, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad lines track alongside the Tarkio River. This 1981 survey documents the community at a significant moment, showing the campus of Tarkio College and the local High Sch before major institutional changes in the following decade. The surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of West Tarkio Creek, Rock Creek, and Cow Branch, which carve through the agricultural townships of Polk, Lincoln, and Clark. Notable local landmarks include the Home Cemetery on the southeastern edge of town and a Radio Tower to the west, providing specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians studying the late twentieth-century layout of Atchison County.
