1950 Map of Platte City
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Missouri River and Platte River converge in this mid-century portrait of Platte County, Missouri, and its neighbor across the state line, Leavenworth County, Kansas. The river landscape is characterized by prominent bends and oxbow features like Horseshoe Lake and Delaware Bend, while the adjacent bottomlands host the expansive Kansas State Penitentiary Farm on Stigers Island. This era captures a rural network of small communities and family-named landmarks, such as East Leavenworth and Beverly, connected by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line.
