2014 Map of Ford City

About this map

Ford City and the crossroads of Winslow anchor this rural landscape along the Gentry and DeKalb County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Lost Creek, Sandy Hook Cr, and Middle Fork Lost Cr, which feed into several small reservoirs such as King Lake and Pate Lake. These water bodies, alongside others like Turpin Lake and Waltemath Lake, reflect the agricultural and water management patterns of the region. The map documents an intricate grid of rural roads and trails, such as Jameson Trl and Walker School Trl, which connect scattered homesteads to State Highway V and State Highway H. The presence of numerous named lakes suggests a landscape heavily modified for local irrigation or recreation, providing a detailed look at land use in Northwest Missouri during the early 21st century.
