About this map

The agrarian landscape of eastern Cass County is defined by the winding course of Big Cr and its tributaries, including Camp Br and Willow Br. This 2021 survey shows the established rural communities of East Lynne and Gunn City, where the local economy once relied heavily on rail access. The former railway infrastructure is now reflected in the Rock Island Spur Trl, which cuts diagonally across the terrain from Wingate toward Hadsell.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved among the section lines, such as Strasburg Cem, Gunn City Cem, and Staley Mound Cem. Elevation highlights include Schindorff Hill and Staley Mound, providing topographical context to the surrounding farmsteads. The eastern edge of the map follows the Cass Co Johnson Co line, illustrating the modern rural road grid that overlays this long-settled Missouri valley.
