1990 Map of Excelsior Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1997About this map
Excelsior Springs serves as the focal point of this 1990s-era topographic study, illustrating the dense residential development and historic medicinal reputation of the area near Mineral Wells. The map details the complex geography of the Fishing River basin, where numerous tributaries like Shackelford Creek and Bogert Creek carve through the landscape. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Crown Hill Cem, Masonic Cem, and smaller family-named grounds such as Clevenger Cem and Rowland Cem. The northern and eastern portions of the sheet show the emergence of smaller communities like Wood Heights and Crystal Lakes, while the southern border is defined by the wetlands of the Cooley Lake State Conservation Area. This survey documents a transitional period of suburban expansion into the rolling terrain of Clay and Ray Counties.
