About this map

Whiteman Air Force Base dominates the northeastern section of this Johnson County quadrangle, showing the significant military footprint near Knob Noster. The installation’s airfield and street grid are clearly delineated, transitioning into the agricultural landscape of rural Missouri. To the south and west, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Clear Fork Blackwater River and several of its tributaries like McAdoo Cr and Vinegar Br.

Small rural clusters and transit points such as Burtville and Owsley are positioned along the county's section roads, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of the region. The map also captures local recreational and utility landmarks, such as Shirley Lake and the Lake Sexton Airport. This survey provides a look at the intersection of strategic national defense infrastructure and the persistent rural character of the Missouri heartland near the Johnson County and Pettis County line.
