About this map

The Missouri River creates a dynamic border between Missouri and Kansas, carving a wide valley floor where the river loops south of Forest City. On the eastern bluffs, the town of Oregon sits atop the higher terrain, overlooking the river bottomlands. This 2014 survey documents the varied topography of Holt County, from the floodplain of the Wolf River to the prominent height of Lookout Mtn. Small settlements and historic sites are scattered throughout the river valley and its adjacent hills, including Curzon and Iowa Point.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify significant burial sites across the landscape, such as Forest City Union Cemetery, Iowa Point Cemetery, and Martin Cemetery. The area's water network is well-defined, featuring numerous tributaries like Mission Cr, Mill Cr, and Scholtz Br that drain into the primary river channel. The map also delineates the grid of county roads, including Mayapple Rd and Prairie Rd, which connect these river-bluff communities.
