2017 Map of Pleasant Gap

About this map

Pleasant Gap occupies the center of this 2017 Bates County landscape, situated at a junction where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the plains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal streams, including S Deepwater Cr and Straight Br, which carve subtle valleys across the township. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named burial grounds are preserved on the sheet, such as Smith Cem, Rogers Cem, and Myers Cem. The southern edge of the map includes Round Prairie Cem near State Hwy BB. The settlement pattern follows a grid of county roads and state highways like State Hwy O, reflecting a modern agricultural community built upon historic township lines like t39n r30w and t40n r30w. Numerous smaller watercourses like Double Br and Mission Br emphasize the area's complex drainage system within this rural Missouri interior.
