1990 Map of Lake Jacomo

About this map

Fleming County Park dominates the center of this landscape, anchored by the long, branching waters of Lake Jacomo. Surrounding the reservoir, the terrain transitions into the expanding residential and municipal fringes of Lees Summit to the west and Blue Springs to the north. This 1990 revision, based on imagery dating back to 1955 and planetable surveys from 1934, illustrates a suburbanizing Missouri landscape where old farm roads like Hagen Rd and Colborn Road are integrated into a modern grid. To the south, the James A. Reed Memorial State Wildlife Area preserves a dense concentration of smaller water bodies including Plover Lake, Jackrabbit Lake, and Gopher Lake. The map captures a moment of balance between large-scale recreational development and the persistent natural drainage of the Little Blue River.
