2017 Map of Maryville West

About this map

Northwest Missouri State University anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, its campus and the adjacent city of Maryville transitioning into the agricultural expanses of Nodaway County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including the winding paths of White Cloud Creek, Big Slough, and Florida Creek that carve through the local topography. This 2017 survey reveals the intersection of institutional growth and rural heritage, with the Northwest Missouri Regional Airport and Northwest Technical School situated alongside longstanding local landmarks. Genealogists and historians will find several burial sites preserved among the fields, such as Cain Cemetery in the north and Morgan Cemetery and White Cloud Cemetery further south. Man-made water bodies like Shelton Lake and Houston Lake dot the countryside, reflecting the region's managed water resources amidst the systematic township and range grid.
