About this map

Shoal Creek meanders through the northeast corner of this Missouri landscape, passing near the settlement of Tipton Ford. The map documents a predominantly rural and agricultural region where distinct prairie lands like Burkhart Prairie, Spurgeon Prairie, and Brock Prairie are bisected by numerous tributaries, including Carver Branch and Baynham Branch.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, which contains several family and community burial grounds such as Thrasher Cemetery, King Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. The settlement at Spurgeon serves as a local hub near the southern prairies, while the edge of Neosho appears in the southeast. Significant infrastructure, including Hwy 71 and Old Highway 71, illustrates the evolution of regional transit routes alongside the natural flow of Cedar Creek.
