2018 Map of Atchison East

About this map

Atchison and its eastern neighbors across the Missouri River appear here in detail along the border of Kansas and Missouri. This riverfront landscape is defined by its sweeping meanders, including McQueen Bend and Atchison Bend, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes. On the Kansas side, the topography rises toward landmarks like the Saint Benedicts Abbey Cem and the State of Kansas Childrens Orphan Home Cem, reflecting the area's established institutional and religious history. East of the river, the Missouri bottomlands are dotted with oxbow features like Sugar Lake and the small community of Lewis and Clark Village. The map reveals how the floodplains accommodate small clusters like Winthrop and Armour while higher ground in the east supports the village of Rushville, surrounded by family-named plots like Gore Cem and Sugar Creek Cem.
