1984 Map of Oak Mills

About this map

The Missouri River corridor north of Leavenworth is defined by the sharp transition from the broad, marshy floodplains of Missouri to the deeply dissected hills of Kansas. Along the eastern bank, the Little Bean Marsh State Natural History Area and Bean Lake sit within a wide river bend, preserving a remnant of the pre-industrial river environment. Directly across the water, the terrain rises into the loess bluffs of the Walnut and Kickapoo townships, where small settlements like Oak Mills and Port Williams are tucked into the drainages of Walnut Creek and Owl Creek.
