2009 Map of Platte City

About this map

Stigers Island and the Delaware Bend of the Missouri River define the southwestern landscape of this region, where the Platte River meanders toward its confluence. The 2009 survey reveals a rural Missouri landscape marked by established family-named landmarks and small settlements like Farley, Beverly, and East Leavenworth. Significant historical data for genealogists is found in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Todd Cemetery, Brown Cemetery, and Jewett Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the agricultural uplands and near the winding Prairie Creek. Infrastructure such as the Vandahl Airport and river crossings like Humphery Bridge and Detner Bridge illustrate the modern connectivity between these riverside communities and the county seat at Platte City.
