2017 Map of Platte City

About this map

The Missouri River carves a dramatic path through this 2017 study of the borderlands between Missouri and Kansas, passing Stigers Island and Delaware Bend. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Platte River and its various tributaries like Hettich Br and Moppin Br, which wind through the hills of Platte County. Local infrastructure is anchored by small river communities such as East Leavenworth, Farley, and Beverly, alongside the more developed town centers of Platte City and Tracy. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds, including Todd Cem, Brown Cem, and Jewett Cem. The map also captures modern utility and transport markers like Vandahl Airport and several spans across the waterways, such as Humphery Bridge and Detner Bridge.
