2017 Map of Cosby

About this map

The Platte River meanders through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary where small farming communities have thrived for generations. Centered on the town of Cosby, this survey illustrates the rural grid of northwestern Missouri as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, identifying numerous family and community burial grounds such as High Prairie Cem, Brown Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem. In the southern portion of the sheet, the terrain descends toward the St. Joseph city limits, where the One Hundred and Two River meets the local drainage system. Significant local landmarks like Wales Lake and the settlement of San Antonio highlight the distribution of water and commerce across the Andrew and Buchanan county line.
