About this map

The Missouri River forms a dynamic boundary in this 2016 survey, separating Doniphan County, Kansas, from Buchanan County, Missouri. The settlement of Doniphan sits perched above the floodplain, near the Doniphan Cem and the winding course of Independence Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense network of upland drainage, including Rock Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Brush Creek, which carve deep valleys into the loess bluffs before reaching the wide river bottom. On the Missouri side, the Hall Levee protects the low-lying agricultural lands, where Booze Island Airport serves as a small aviation landmark. For genealogists and local historians, several family and community landmarks are visible, such as Rosendale Cem and Myers Cem, alongside rural thoroughfares like Mineral Point Rd and Last Chance Rd.
