About this map

Kansas City International Airport dominates the central landscape of this Platte County survey, showing the facility as it expanded during the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a transitional period where rural crossroads and family settlements met the encroaching Kansas City City Boundary. Established communities such as Ferrelview and Linkville sit alongside newer developments like Platte Gardens and Tarrytown, reflecting the suburbanization of the Missouri countryside.

Local history is preserved through numerous family burial grounds including Weller Cem, Brasfield Cem, and Rixey Cem. The educational and spiritual life of the era is marked by the East Platte Sch and Second Creek Ch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways such as Todd Creek and Wildcat Branch, which carve through the land near the Roanridge Institute and the southern settlement of Tiffany Springs.
