2011 Map of Pleasant Gap

About this map

Pleasant Gap is the central point of this agricultural landscape in Bates County, Missouri. The settlement is surrounded by a network of drainage systems feeding into larger waterways, including South Deepwater Creek and Double Branch. The region's history is anchored by family and community burial grounds such as Smith Cemetery, Myers Cemetery, and Rogers Cemetery, which provide valuable location data for genealogists and local historians. This 2011 survey also highlights the local aviation infrastructure at Bauer PGI Airport, located south of the main village. Numerous tributaries, including Mission Branch, Sycamore Branch, and Willow Branch, crisscross the terrain, reflecting the area's natural drainage patterns and traditional land use. The layout of roads and property lines follows a distinct grid, typical of the Midwestern prairie, punctuated by these meandering natural watercourses.
