2017 Map of Camden Point

About this map

Edgerton and Camden Point anchor this rural landscape in Platte County, where the Platte River and its numerous tributaries like Shanks Br and Todd Cr define the local topography. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites, including the Standiford Cem, Camden Point Cem, and Ridgely Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Missouri. The drainage pattern is complex, with named crossings such as Skinner Bridge and Mellon Bridge facilitating travel across the wetlands and river bottoms. Small historical clusters like Edgerton Junction, Goose Neck, and Kerrville appear alongside family-named landmarks like Smitty's Landing and Cockerill Lake. The presence of several interlinking rural routes, such as Stubbs Station Rd and Interurban Rd, suggests a long-standing network of local transport that predates modern highway development.
