2021 Map of Mound City

About this map

Mound City sits at the southwestern edge of this Holt County landscape, where the traditional street grid meets the engineered drainage of the Missouri River floodplain. The transition from the structured town blocks of State St and Savannah St to the winding upland roads illustrates the local geography's shift from bottomlands to loess bluffs. To the east, the rural character is defined by the three branches of Squaw Creek—Squaw Cr, Middle Br Squaw Cr, and E Br Squaw Cr—which carve through the rolling agricultural terrain. Historic burial grounds like Mount Hope Cem and Center District Cem provide anchor points for genealogists, while the presence of the Crop Care Airport near the city center reflects the area's continued reliance on intensive farming. Small, unincorporated communities such as Whig Valley remain marked in the eastern reaches, preserving the names of long-standing local neighborhoods.
