Bayfield, Missouri

Last updated

Bayfield is an extinct town in the southwest corner of DeKalb County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] The community was on the Little Third Fork of the Platte River approximately three miles southwest of Clarksdale and one-quarter mile east of the DeKalb-Buchanan county line. [2]

Bayfield had its start ca. 1880 when the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railway was extended to that point. [3] A post office called Bayfield was established in 1886, and remained in operation until 1917. [4]
