1935 Map of Buckner

About this map

Fort Osage anchors the southern bluffs above the Missouri River in this mid-1930s survey of the Jackson County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the heavy meanders of the river, which carves distinct oxbows and points including Jackass Bend and Sibley Bend. The river serves as a major dividing line between the high, broken ground to the south and the broad alluvial plains of the north, where the Fishing River joins the main channel.
