About this map

Walnut Grove and its surrounding rural townships sit at the intersection of Greene, Polk, and Dade counties in Southwest Missouri. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Sac River and a network of seasonal streams including Turkey Cr and Sugar Cr. This area maintains a strong agricultural character, reflected in the intricate system of farm roads such as W Farm Road 22 and E 560th Rd. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds, including Leeper Cemetery, Williamson Cemetery, and the King Cemetery further north.

The map reveals small, established settlements like Eudora and Harold, alongside former rail stops like Graydon Springs and the once-active quarrying center at Phenix. These clusters provide a clear view of the traditional Missouri Ozarks settlement pattern, where small hubs emerged along natural springs like Leith Spring and Eudora Spring. This survey is a detailed resource for tracing early 21st-century property boundaries and rural development across these three county lines.
