About this map

Kansas City International Airport dominates the central landscape of this Platte County region, surrounded by a transition from suburban development to rural farmland. The area is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Brasfield Cem and Waller Cem in the north, and Rixey Cem and Hampton Cem further south. These sites, along with small settlements like Hoover and Hampton, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing long-established Missouri families.

Waterways like Todd Cr and Prairie Cr weave between the rolling topography, while the Berlin Reservoir sits near the airport's western edge. The map captures the infrastructure of growth, from the expanding streets of Platte Gardens and Tarrytown to the established corridor of Kansas City. This intersection of aviation infrastructure and historic rural homesteads illustrates the twentieth-century transformation of the Missouri countryside north of the Missouri River.
