2017 Map of Wilcox

About this map

The settlement of Wilcox serves as the focal point for this survey of rural Nodaway County, situated along a section of US Highway 71 and 136. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage network, including the waters of White Cloud Cr, S Fork Clear Cr, and the slow-moving Big Slough. This network of creeks and sloughs created a fertile, rolling environment that supported early agricultural development in Polk Township. Researchers will find the Wilcox Cem located just west of the main village, providing a key site for local genealogical study. To the north, the small community area of Toad Hollow sits along State Hwy B, reflecting the pattern of small-scale rural hamlets that once peppered this part of Missouri. The map preserves the exact alignment of historical section lines and county roads, such as Glacier Rd and Hallmark Rd, which continue to organize the regional geography.
