2014 Map of Westboro

About this map

Westboro and Northboro anchor this agricultural survey along the border of Iowa and Missouri, where the landscape is defined by the drainage of the Tarkio River and its tributaries. The topography reveals the intricate stream networks of Middle Tarkio Cr and Long Br, which have carved the surrounding terrain into features like Deadmans Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, this map provides precise locations for several regional burial grounds, including the Washington Township Cemetery, Union Grove Cemetery, Houser Cemetery, and Walden Grove Cemetery. The layout of section lines and early 21st-century road networks like Mo-C and Fremont-Page Ave reflects the enduring rural structure of Atchison County and Page County. The state line itself, marked as Iowa Missouri, bisects the map, showing how these border communities were integrated by shared geography and road systems.
