However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.

<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Missouri's counties, including Adair, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Yarrow - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
