1991 Map of Nevada

About this map

The Missouri Pacific Railroad and the state line crossing define the transit-heavy character of this borderland, where the prairies of eastern Kansas meet western Missouri. Fort Scott stands as a primary hub west of the line, while Nevada serves as the central focal point in Missouri, just north of the Camp Clark Military Reservation. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and industrial footprints, notably the strip mines and quarries that suggest the region's extraction history. Waterways like the Little Osage River and Marmaton River wind through the terrain, leading toward larger conservation areas such as the Schell-Osage State Wildlife Area and the Harry S Truman Reservoir. For those tracing local roots, the map captures several smaller communities including Moundville, Bronaugh, and Walker, alongside rural landmarks like Bunn Cemetery.
