1955 Map of Tarsney

About this map

Sni A Bar Creek and its West Fork carve through the landscape of eastern Jackson County, Missouri, defining the topography of this rural region. The area is characterized by the emerging recreational and residential developments at Tarsney Lake and the eastern edge of Lake Lotawana, contrasting with the established agrarian community structures. Local life in the mid-1930s (when this survey was conducted) centered around landmarks such as Hickory Grove Sch and two local congregations, Providence Ch and Cockrell Ch. The map provides a precise view of the local infrastructure before modern suburbanization, including the alignment of Road No 8 S, which served as a primary artery for the valley's residents.
