2009 Map of Atchison East

About this map

Atchison anchors this riverfront landscape, where the Missouri River forms a complex series of loops including Doniphan Bend and McQueen Bend. The settlement pattern follows the river's eastern bank through small communities like Rushville, Armour, and Winthrop, while the western bluffs are defined by significant cemetery sites including Cummings Cemetery and Taylor Cemetery. The hydrology of the floodplain is particularly intricate here, featuring Horseshoe Slough and Sugar Lake, alongside the notable Dead Mans Hole Dam. The map documents a blend of established river towns and residential clusters like Lewis and Clark Village, connected by a network of rural routes such as Old Highway Rd SW and SW Morrow Rd.
