About this map

Bates City and Oak Grove anchor the southern portion of this region along the border of Jackson and Lafayette Counties. This area is defined by the winding course of Sni-A-Bar Creek and its many branches, including the East Fork Sni-A-Bar Creek and Little Horseshoe Creek. A significant historical landmark is the Old Santa Fe Trail, which cuts across the northern terrain south of Napoleon.

Transport and aviation play a central role in the landscape, highlighted by the Harry S Truman Regional Airport situated north of the Interstate 70 corridor. Local genealogy is well-represented through several family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Prairie Cemetery and Anderson Cemetery. The northern landscape is dotted with several water bodies, including Twenties Lake and Beckemeyer Lake, while modern residential clusters like Holiday Lake indicate the development of recreation-focused communities in the later 20th century.
