About this map

Parkville and the surrounding river bluffs dominate this mid-1990s landscape, where the Missouri River forms a wide, sweeping boundary between Missouri and Kansas. The river's character is defined by significant landmarks like Pomeroy Bend and Quindaro Bend, flanked by extensive levee systems and the tracks of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR and Union Pacific RR.

Institutional and residential development is evident in the presence of Park College and established communities such as Weatherby Lake and Riverside. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are documented, including Nolan Cem, Sailor Cem, and the prominent Memorial Park (Cemetery) near the Waterworks. The map also captures the sprawling suburban expansion of Kansas City as it reaches into the hills of Beverly Hills and Welborn, showing a mix of industrial riverfront activity and lakeside residential enclaves.
