2012 Map of Grand Pass

About this map

Grand Pass occupies a central position on this Saline County landscape, situated atop the bluffs overlooking the wide floodplain of the Missouri River. The river's path is defined by the significant loop at Tamerlane Bend to the north, where old oxbows and secondary water bodies like Fish Lake indicate the historic movement of the channel. The area's agricultural character is evident in the dense network of county roads, such as Co RD-407 and Co RD-410, which connect the small settlements of Grand Pass and Mount Leonard. Beyond the river valley, the terrain is drained by several meandering waterways including the Salt Fork, Pass Branch, and the Elm Branch. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Mount Nebo Cemetery, a lone landmark positioned just west of the main settlement, preserving a quiet record of local heritage amidst the rural acreage and creek beds.
