2017 Map of Peculiar

About this map

The eastern edges of Peculiar and the northwestern approach to Harrisonville define this portion of Cass County. This suburbanizing landscape is marked by the split between the older settlement at Old Peculiar and the more modern residential expansions near Peculiar City Reservoir and Harper Lake. The terrain is drained by the extensive network of the East Branch South Grand River and its tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Polecat Creek. For genealogists, the map preserves several local burial grounds, such as Peculiar Cemetery, Wills Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery, situated among a road network that transitions from traditional grid lines like School Road to winding suburban drives. At the southern edge, the small community of Prettyman sits along the section line, illustrating the persistent rural settlement pattern that exists alongside the growing corridor of the regional highway system.
