The Missouri River carves a dramatic S-curve through this landscape, defining the border between Platte and Wyandotte Counties. Along the northern banks, Parkville sits at the foot of steep bluffs, home to the campus of Park University. The river's influence is evident in the named bends like Pomeroy Bend, Little Platte Bend, and Quindaro Bend, which historically dictated the flow of commerce and the placement of the BNSF Railway tracks that hug the shoreline.
