About this map

Miami sits prominently on the south bank of the Missouri River, anchoring a landscape defined by the river's winding course and the complex drainage of the Saline and Carroll county border. The river's influence is clear through the series of dramatic curves known as Upper Miami Bend, Middle Miami Bend, and Lower Miami Bend. These deep meanders shape the low-lying terrain near the mouth of Wakenda Creek, contrasting with the higher ground to the south where local landmarks like Coon Hollow and the Elson Reservoir are located.

Local heritage is preserved through features such as the Miami Cem and the Christian Ch, which serve as focal points for the community's history. To the east, the small settlement of Sharon is situated among a network of rural routes, including Co RD 109 and Linwood Ave. The map also details numerous small tributaries like Edmondson Cr and Muddy Cr, which carve through the agricultural landscape, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the region.
