About this map

Pleasant Hill and Greenwood anchor this survey of the northern Cass County and southern Jackson County line during the 1990s. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of water resources, from the northern James A Reed Memorial State Wildlife Area to the sprawling Harrisonville City Lake in the south. The area around Lake Winnebago shows specialized development, including the Lake Winnebago Landing Strip, reflecting the mid-century growth of residential and recreational communities.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the established centers of Pleasant Hill Cem and Greenwood Cem, while the industrial presence of a Quarry near Avon indicates the ongoing extraction of local resources. Transport and drainage patterns are visible along Middle Big Creek and Middle Creek, showing how the natural terrain was managed with features like a Levee. The map documents a period of transition as these rural Missouri towns expanded their corporate boundaries into the surrounding valley.
