2012 Map of Burbank

About this map

The Missouri River carves a wide path through this borderland, where the terrain rises from the river valley into a series of distinctive named elevations. To the west, the landscape is defined by Rattlesnake Hill, Pumpkin Hill, and Volcano Hill, while Boy Scout Hill and Indian Hill overlook the river's eastern banks. This area, surveyed in 2012, showcases a mix of agricultural grid roads and natural drainage systems like Gibbs Cr and Aowa Cr. Local history is anchored by the Ionia Cem near Volcano Hill, providing a point of reference for genealogists. The map also records small settlement points and river-related features such as Burbank, Lembke Landing, and the backwaters of Burbank Lake. The drainage patterns of Government Slough reveal the complex hydrology of the floodplain at the time of this survey.
