About this map

The Platte River snakes through the center of this Buchanan County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for numerous tributaries like Candy Creek, Riley Branch, and Third Fork. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by small clusters of settlement at Easton, Evansville, and Garrettsburg, where the road network transitions from paved routes to localized gravel tracks such as Se 85th RD and Se Delwood DR.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Blakely Cemetery in the north and Bretz Cemetery to the south. The area around Agency and Possum Hollow shows a concentration of local infrastructure near the riverbanks, while Camp Marvin Hillyard provides a dedicated recreational space amidst the farmland. This survey reflects a modern era of rural Missouri, where longstanding small-town centers and remote cemeteries remain the primary landmarks across the rolling river valley.
