About this map

The Missouri River defines the heart of this landscape, carving through deep bends like Little Platte Bend and Quindaro Bend. This 2010 survey shows the northern reaches of Kansas City as it transitions from dense residential blocks in Welborn to the hilltop communities of Parkville and Riverside. The terrain is characterized by numerous artificial impoundments, including Weatherby Lake, Lake Waukomis, and Riss Lake, which serve as focal points for suburban development.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across both sides of the river, from the Saint Marys Cemetery near Houston Lake to the Quindaro Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery further south. The map also captures the industrial and logistical infrastructure of the era, such as the Parkville Post Office and the sprawling road network including NW Barry Rd, providing a clear record of the region's early 21st-century topography.
