About this map

The Little Blue River winds through the rural heart of Jackson County, anchoring a landscape defined by small agrarian communities and a dense network of one-room schoolhouses like Stony Point Sch and Oakland Sch. As the 1930s drew to a close, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad served as the primary industrial artery, connecting the established center of Lees Summit with outlying settlements like Knobtown, Vale, and South Lee.
