About this map

Plattsburg serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated near the confluence of the Little Platte River and several of its tributaries, including Horse Fork and Funkhouser Creek. The town is surrounded by a notable concentration of airfields, such as the Plattsburg Airpark and Kimray Airport, reflecting the regional aviation activity of the early 21st century. To the southeast, the small settlement of Wexford sits along the river's winding path toward the Smithville Reservoir.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the quadrangle, from the larger Greenlawn Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery near the city center to smaller sites like Transue Cemetery and McWilliams Cemetery to the east. The terrain is marked by significant water management features, including the Plattsburg Old Reservoir and Newby Lake, which demonstrate how the local hydrology was harnessed for the community’s growth and infrastructure.
