2018 Map of Atchison West

About this map

Atchison serves as the focal point of this northeastern Kansas landscape, where the western reaches of the city meet the rolling agricultural fields of the Missouri River valley. The area is characterized by a dense network of country roads, such as Pardee Rd and Neosho Rd, that connect scattered rural communities and family cemeteries. Significant aviation history is represented by the Amelia Earhart Airport, located north of the city center. Numerous watercourses, including White Clay Cr and Deer Cr, carve through the terrain, historically shaping the settlement patterns of towns like Good Intent and Shannon. For the genealogist, this map is particularly valuable for its documentation of many local burial grounds, ranging from Saint Louis Cem in the north to Camp Creek Cem in the south, reflecting the deep-rooted parish and community histories of Atchison County.
