2012 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

Grain Valley and Oak Grove anchor the southern corridor of this eastern Jackson County landscape, where the suburban expansion of the Kansas City region meets the traditional farmsteads of the Missouri interior. The map illustrates a transitional geography defined by winding watercourses like Sni-A-Bar Creek and Blue Branch, which bisect the rolling terrain near Monkey Mountain. Small, long-standing settlements and crossroads such as Pink Hill, Hiler, and Bone Hill are scattered across the northern half of the sheet, often marked by localized landmarks like the Hiler Post Office and various family-named cemeteries. Transportation and aviation infrastructure is a notable theme, with the East Kansas City Airport and private facilities like the Action Gliderport and a north-central Landing Strip serving the area's growing population.
