About this map

Pleasant Hill and Greenwood anchor this 2017 landscape along the border of Jackson and Cass Counties, where suburban expansion meets the organized hydrology of the Missouri plains. The area is defined by an extensive network of reservoirs and small lakes, ranging from the large residential waters of Lake Winnebago and Lake Lotawana to the managed basins of Reed Area Number 10 Lake and Harrisonville City Lake. The topographic detail reveals a terrain shaped by Middle Big Creek and its tributaries, interspersed with local aviation hubs like Riordan Airport and Inter- State Airport.

Historically significant landmarks such as Union Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research, while the Rock Island railroad line traces a path through the southeastern portion of the map. Smaller settlements like Baldwin Park, Avon, and Gowdy offer a look at the residential pockets that have persisted as the larger municipalities of Lee's Summit and Pleasant Hill have grown.
