About this map

The riverfront settlement of Doniphan sits prominently on the banks of the Missouri River in this detailed survey of the Kansas-Missouri border region. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of several waterways, including Independence Creek and Rock Creek, which cut through the terrain toward the massive river bend. Genealogists can find significant local history preserved at the Doniphan Cemetery and Myers Cemetery near the town, while Rosendale Cemetery serves the rural northern reaches of the quadrangle. On the Missouri side of the river, the presence of Booze Island and a nearby Airport highlights the differing land use patterns between the residential and agricultural Kansas bluffs and the lower, more industrial floodplain across the state line. A dense network of rural roads like Last Chance Road and Mineral Point Road connects the numerous family farms and homesteads scattered across the interior uplands.
