1892 Map of Harrisonville

The physical geography is defined by the drainage basins of the Grand River and Big Creek, with significant topographical markers like Hutton Mound providing landmarks for early travelers. North of the Boundary Line, the map captures the rural character of Lafayette and Johnson counties, featuring the historic church and community at Chapel Hill. From the uniquely named Peculiar to the rail junction at Raymore Junction, the survey documents a period of growth as these prairie townships transitioned into established rail-and-river communities.
