About this map

Shoal Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape, its waters joined by tributaries like Carver Br and Cedar Cr as it flows near the northern settlement of Tipton Ford. This modern 2015 edition provides a clear view of the rural-to-urban transition north of Neosho, documenting the network of county roads and residential developments that have reshaped the traditional farming layout. Notable family and community burial sites are preserved across the terrain, including Cedar Creek Cemetery and Thrasher Cemetery, providing valuable data for genealogists tracking local ancestry.

Industrial and transport corridors are well-defined, with Old Highway 71 and the modern expressway bisecting the region. Small rural centers like Spurgeon and Fredville remain distinct markers in the landscape. The intricate topography near Lost Creek in the south illustrates the varied relief characteristic of this corner of Newton County, where small-scale drainage systems like Willow Br and Beef Branch carve through the countryside.
