About this map

Kansas City and its expanding northern suburbs are captured here at a moment of significant suburban and rural transition. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Fishing River and its tributaries like Brushy Creek, which carve through the terrain between established centers like Kearney and Liberty. This 2014 survey reveals a mix of older rural settlements such as Roosterville and Ectonville alongside modern developments like Kitty Hawk Estates Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including Old Providence Cemetery, Watkins Cemetery, and Pickett Cemetery. These markers of earlier settlement contrast with the dense network of modern infrastructure, such as the prominent path of Nation Road and the residential clusters around Holly Lake. The survey also documents localized water features like Wilmar Ranch Lake and Hendron Lake, illustrating the varied land use in this Clay County corridor.
