2010 Map of Miami NW

About this map

The Neosho River meanders through this portion of Ottawa County, creating a riparian corridor that separates the industrial and residential centers of the east from the agricultural expanses to the west. On the eastern bank, the urban footprint of Miami, North Miami, and Commerce reflects the region's development, anchored by infrastructure like the Miami Municipal Airport. Cultural history is anchored in sites such as the Old Indian Cemetery in the northern section and the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery near the city limits. The river remains a central geographic feature, with the Stepps Ford Bridge providing a key crossing point, while smaller tributaries like Fourmile Creek and Windy Creek drain the surrounding fields. To the southwest, Potato Hill rises above the terrain, overlooking the small settlement of Dawes and the northern reaches of Grand Lake O' The Cherokees.
