About this map

Parkville and the winding Missouri River define this landscape on the border of Missouri and Kansas during the mid-1960s. The river's path is marked by significant geographic features like Pomeroy Bend and Parkville Bend, while the adjacent bottomlands show a network of levees protecting areas like Waldron. Further inland, the terrain is dotted with suburban developments and several notable water bodies, including Weatherby Lake, Waukomis Lake, and Riss Lake.

Educational and religious institutions are prominent across the quadrangle, reflecting the growing communities of Platte Woods and Riverside. Park College stands near the river, while numerous schools like Chinn Sch and Washington High Sch serve the expanding residential zones. For those tracing family histories, local landmarks such as Nolan Cem, Sailor Cem, and the expansive Memorial Park Cemetery are clearly documented alongside the Missouri Pacific and Burlington Northern railroad lines.
