About this map

Kearney and the outskirts of Liberty and Excelsior Springs anchor this detailed study of Clay County's evolving landscape. The survey documents a network of rural settlements like Stockdale, Mosby, and Prathersville amidst a terrain defined by the Fishing River and its numerous tributaries, including Clear Cr and Crockett Cr. The presence of the Midwest National Air Center and the Lone Star Lake reservoir highlights the region's modern infrastructure and managed water resources.

For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds. From the Mount Olive Cemetery in the northwest to the Scott Cemetery and Moore Cemetery in the southeast, these sites provide a spatial record of the area's established families. Significant landmarks like W Jesse James Rd reflect the deep-rooted local history that continues to define this part of Missouri.
