2011 Map of Freeman

About this map

Freeman and the smaller settlement of Lisle anchor this rural landscape in Cass County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the South Fork South Grand River and its numerous tributaries. The map details a transition from the agricultural plateaus to the drainage basins of Cave Spring Creek, Harless Creek, and Harding Creek. Aviation history and local infrastructure are noted through the presence of Hilltop Airport and Bishops Landing Airport, alongside the smaller Lisle Pond. The rural road network, including Cold Water Rd and State Line Rd, illustrates the grid-based development common to this part of the Missouri-Kansas border. For genealogists, the Freeman Cemetery serves as a primary point of interest for tracing early families in the region.
