Possum Walk, Missouri
Possum Walk is an extinct community in northwestern Nodaway County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
The community was platted in January 1871 by John Lamar but when with the building of Burlington Junction and Elmo at where the railway went, the hamlet decayed.[2] It was located on the west side of the Nodaway River floodplain two miles southeast of the community of Elmo. [3]
Possum Walk is an invented name.[4] A variant name was "LaMar Station after the LaMar family that operated the Possum Walk Hotel that is now a national landmark.".[1]
