2012 Map of Mound City

About this map

Mound City sits in the southwestern corner of this Northwest Missouri landscape, where the Missouri River floodplain meets the uplands. The drainage patterns of Squaw Creek and its tributaries, including Middle Branch and East Branch, dominate the northern topography. To the east and south, Davis Creek and the channelized Davis Creek Ditch define the agricultural water management of Holt County. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies two significant burial grounds: Mount Hope Cemetery just north of the city limits and Center District Cemetery further inland. The rural infrastructure is detailed through a dense grid of county roads and distinctive landmarks like the Hall Landing Strip, reflecting the aviation and transport needs of this farming community in the early twenty-first century.
