About this map

The Missouri River serves as the dividing line between Carroll and Saline Counties in this riverfront landscape. The northern bank is characterized by the meandering path of Wakenda Creek and the settlement at Miami Station, while the higher ground to the north is dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Salem Cem, Adkins Cem, and New Pleasant Park Cem. These landmarks reflect the long-standing agricultural roots of rural communities like Leta and White Rock.

South of the river, the terrain shifts into the wetlands and alluvial plains near Teteseau Lake and Van Meter Ditch. Distinctive river features such as Prunty Bend, Teteseau Bend, and Thomas Bend illustrate the historic influence of the river's channel on local land use and boundary lines. The infrastructure of the area is defined by a network of county roads that navigate the complex drainage patterns of the Missouri bottomlands.
