About this map

Kansas City International Airport dominates the central landscape of this Platte County region, illustrating the massive scale of modern aviation infrastructure alongside long-established rural settlements. The map traces the growth of Ferrelview and Platte Gardens near the airport’s eastern periphery, while older community nodes like Hoover and Linkville maintain their distinct positions. A series of small family and community burial grounds, including Brasfield Cemetery and the uniquely named Pancake Cemetery, provide significant data points for genealogists tracking early local families.

Waterways like Todd Creek and Wildcat Branch wind through the terrain, contrasting with the engineered shoreline of the Berlin Reservoir. The intersection of modern travel and history is evident in the proximity of Oak Grove School to the busy airport corridors. From the springs of Tiffany Springs in the south to the northern reaches of Big Creek, the map details a landscape where residential developments like Tarrytown are increasingly integrated into the transportation network.
