USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The Missouri River dominates this mid-1930s landscape, winding through a complex series of bends including Jackass Bend, Little Blue Bend, and Sibley Bend. The terrain is sharply divided between the wide, fertile river bottomlands to the north and the high, dissected bluffs of Fort Osage to the south. This era shows a region heavily reliant on rail transportation, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Wabash RR cutting across the floodplains, while the Missouri Pacific Line serves the southern settlements.
