2017 Map of Oregon

About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping arc through this borderlands region where Northwest Missouri meets Northeast Kansas. This 2017 survey details the bluffs and floodplains of Holt County, with the town of Oregon situated on the elevated eastern terrain. To the west, Forest City occupies the base of the loess hills, while across the river in Doniphan County, the community of Iowa Point sits near the confluence with the Wolf River. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including the Forest City Union Cem and the Martin Cem south of Mission Creek. The landscape is a complex network of drainage basins like Mill Creek and Hickory Creek, punctuated by the prominent height of Lookout Mtn overlooking the wide river valley.
