2012 Map of Dearborn

About this map

Bee Creek and its tributaries, such as Bleazard Branch and Jordan Branch, carve a network of drainage through this portion of Platte County. The map captures the agricultural and transportation layout of northwestern Missouri in the early 21st century, centered on the community of Dearborn. To the west and north, several smaller established points such as Wallace, Halleck, and Taos punctuate the grid of rural roads. Evidence of long-standing family and community ties is visible in the unusually high density of burial sites scattered across the township, including Antioch Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Judy Cemetery.
