1957 Map of Tarsney

About this map

Sni A Bar Creek and its West Fork dominate this mid-century survey of rural Jackson County, Missouri. The landscape is characterized by the winding drainage patterns of these waterways and the early development around the eastern edge of Lake Lotawana. The settlement of Tarsney serves as a central point in an area defined by small country schoolhouses and community churches, reflecting the agricultural social structure of the 1930s when these grounds were first surveyed. Local researchers can identify the sites of the Adams Sch and Buckner Sch, alongside the Providence Ch and the Pleasant Prairie Cem. The presence of Road No 8 S indicates the established transportation corridor through the rolling terrain between the creek valleys and the developing lakeshore.
