About this map

Main City and the surrounding rural landscape of Bates County are defined by a network of winding waterways and section-line roads. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by small clusters of settlement such as Burdett and Lacyville. The Mormon Fork and its tributaries, including Black Creek and Millsap Creek, carve subtle drainage patterns through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic layout of the western Missouri prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Burdett Cemetery, a central landmark for tracing family roots in this corner of the state. The presence of the McDonnell Airport in the northeast quadrant highlights the continued utility of the land for regional transit. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an exact record of property boundaries, such as Gearhart Rd and S Amarugia Rd, as they existed at the start of the second decade of the twenty-first century.
