About this map

The winding course of the Platte River and the Little Platte River dictates the landscape of this northwestern Missouri region, where traditional farming communities and scattered hamlets define the settlement pattern. Edgerton and Camden Point serve as the primary hubs, connected by a network of rural roads that trace the high ground between creek drainages like Bell Cr and Alger Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including the Chinn Cemetery, McComas Cemetery, and Lutes Cemetery, often situated on ridges overlooking the river bottoms. The influence of early transportation is visible in the alignment of Interurban Rd and Stubbs Station Rd, while landmarks like Skinner Bridge and Mellon Bridge mark established river crossings. The map also records smaller points of interest such as Smitty's Landing and the curiously named Slash Valley, offering a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in Platte County during the early 21st century.
