You might try the Chamber of Commerce for Neosho http://www.neoshocc.com/ Ask them to send you a county map. They are very updated & have all the info on them you need - assuming you can plot a legal description. Visiting? Hmmm, don't overlook Branson entertainment including Silver Dollar City - they have tons of stuff going on during the Christmas season. If you can't plot a legal description - the best way I can describe it - Find the Range & Township - the numbers run across the top & sides of the maps. When you locate those appropriate coordinates, then find the Section you need within that area. (They run 1-36 in each one unless on an adjustment line) Then take your fractions of each section. Make a box on a piece of paper. Start dividing the box into 1/4ths. NW/SW/NE/SE. That will equate to 160 acres in each 1/4. Divide further your specific 1/4 section the same way. However, if it's city property, you might check with the assessors office upon arrival.
