1961 Map of Edgerton

About this map

Edgerton and the surrounding agricultural bottomlands of the Platte River define this mid-century Missouri landscape. The meandering river is flanked by an extensive Levee system, protecting the fertile valleys where Benner Lake and Gamble Lake sit as prominent oxbow remnants. This period shows a rural community anchored by small centers of worship and burial, including Hebron Ch and Davis Chapel, alongside family and local burial grounds like Union Mill Cem and Bristol Cem.
