2011 Map of Drexel

About this map

Drexel and the community of South Drexel straddle the Missouri-Kansas border, anchored by the north-south artery of State Line Rd. This 2011 survey captures a landscape defined by its hydrology, where agricultural land is partitioned by the winding courses of Mormon Fork, Miami Creek, and North Sugar Creek. Local infrastructure is visible through the Drexel City Reservoir South and the Drexel Lake complex, which serve the town's immediate vicinity. To the south, the village of Merwin sits near the confluence of several small branches. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including West Point Cemetery on the western edge and Edgewood Cemetery to the east. The presence of private airstrips like May Airport and Arvin Ranch Airport suggests the continued importance of aviation in this borderland corridor between Cass and Bates counties.
