2017 Map of Oak Grove
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Grain Valley and the eastern edge of Blue Springs anchor this landscape during a period of modern expansion in Jackson County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sni-A-Bar Creek, which flows past landmarks like Monkey Mountain and the Grain Valley Cemetery. This area serves as a transition between the suburban reach of Independence and more rural stretches, marked by small private airfields like Washburn Farm Airport and East Kansas City Airport. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented here, including Oakland Cemetery and the isolated Mecklin Cemetery near Seminary Creek. The Kansas City Southern rail line cuts through the southern portion of the map, illustrating the enduring importance of transit corridors in this part of Missouri.
