About this map

The Platte River valley and its surrounding drainage systems define the landscape across the Andrew Co and Buchanan Co line. Small communities like Cosby, Hurlingen, Clair, and San Antonio serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural region just northeast of ST. Joseph. The map reveals a dense network of country roads, including State HWY Uu and Co Rte 67, that connect family farms and rural homesteads.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of burial sites. Scattered across the hills are numerous landmarks such as High Prairie Cem, Brown Cem, Concord Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem, many located near early settlements or family plots. The waterways, including Muddy Cr and the One Hundred and Two River, weave through a terrain where local markers like Wales Lake and the Ozenberger Cem provide precise location points for 21st-century researchers tracing ancestral land holdings.
