About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping path across this region, defining the borders of Ray, Jackson, and Lafayette counties. This landscape is characterized by the wide, fertile lowlands of Napolean Bend and Camden Bend, where the river's historical shifts have dictated the placement of small agricultural settlements. The town of Napoleon sits just south of the river, while Camden and Orrick occupy the higher ground to the north, connected by a network of rural roads such as Fleming Rd and W 72nd St.

For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with family-named landmarks and ancestral burial sites. Several small graveyards are tucked into the hills and meadows, including Lewis Cemetery, South Point Cemetery, and the Smith-Jackson Cemetery. These sites, along with smaller water features like Panther Cr and Brady Cr, provide a detailed view of the rural fabric that has endured in this corner of Missouri.
