About this map

Massacre Memorial State Park anchors the southwestern landscape of this border region, situated along the Kansas Missouri line. The terrain is defined by distinct elevations like Walley Mound and Summers Mound, which rise above the drainage basins of Miami Creek and Mulberry Creek. The Kansas City Southern railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, connecting the small towns of Amsterdam and Amoret.

Evidence of established rural life is found in the high density of family and community cemeteries, including Walley Cem, Forbes Cem, and Richland Cem. Local education and faith are represented by Miami High Sch and Mt Vernon Ch, illustrating the social framework of the West Point and Homer townships during the mid-20th century. Scattered Mine symbols indicate localized resource extraction, while numerous property and fence lines added during later revisions show the ongoing partition of the land.
