2012 Map of Edgerton

About this map

The Platte River meanders prominently through this landscape, defining the geography of the Edgerton area in the early 21st century. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Union Mill Cemetery and the uniquely named Number 6 Cemetery, which often serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Missouri. Transportation is anchored by the Union Military rail line and a network of named country roads such as SE Old Frame Rd and Camp Pawnee Rd. Small bodies of water like Grant Lake, Cantrell Lake, and Gamble Lake punctuate the agricultural terrain, while several creeks like Castile Creek and Malden Creek feed into the river system. This survey documents the intersection of modern infrastructure with the long-standing family landmarks and small-town character of the region.
