2012 Map of Kearney

About this map

Jesse James Farm Rd cuts through the rural landscape of Clay County, reflecting the deep local ties to the regional heritage of this Missouri corridor. The area is defined by the winding course of the Fishing River and its numerous tributaries, including Clear Creek and Crockett Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain between the growing settlements of Kearney and Excelsior Springs. This map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Munkirs Cemetery, Baldwin Cemetery, and Old Liberty Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The transition from agricultural use to modern infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Royal Wood Aerodrome Airport and the development around Mosby, where the Mosby Post Office stands near the confluence of local streams.
