USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Missouri River and Platte River converge in this 1961 survey, documenting the riverine borderlands of Missouri and Kansas. The landscape is defined by the shifting hydrology of the floodplain, evidenced by Sevenmile Island and numerous oxbow features like Horseshoe Lake and Mud Lake. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and rail lines, with Platte City and Tracy established to the north, while the Burlington Northern railroad links smaller river-valley communities like Farley and East Leavenworth.
