About this map

The agricultural landscape of Cass County is defined by the network of waterways feeding into the Missouri River in this 2011 survey. The village of Nehawka is established along the banks of Weeping Water Creek, while the town of Union sits further east, near the confluence of several tributaries including Coal Creek and the South Branch Weeping Water Creek. The map provides a clear picture of the rural infrastructure, noting the Nehawka Post Office and Union Post Office as central hubs for their respective communities.

Genealogists can find several historic burial sites throughout the townships, including Mount Pleasant Cemetery to the north and the East Union Cemetery located east of the Union town center. The presence of the Schlichtemeier Reservoir and Johnson Reservoir, controlled by the Schlichtemeier Dam and Johnson Dam, illustrates the local water management essential to this prairie environment. This record details a highly organized section of the state, where named roads like Nehawka RD and Mount Pleasant DR connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating terrain.
