2017 Map of Rock Port

About this map

Rock Port serves as the focal point of this Northwest Missouri landscape, situated where the loess bluffs meet the Missouri River floodplain. The topography is defined by the contrast between the flat alluvial plains to the west, marked by the Old Channel Nishnabotna River, and the steep, dissected hills to the east. Brickyard Hill and Charity Lake highlight the recreational and natural character of the higher ground, while the valley floor is occupied by the small communities of Phelps City and Watson. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Elmwood Cem, Linden Cem, and Addington Cem. The map traces the drainage patterns of Rock Cr and Boney Br as they flow through the county seat, providing a detailed look at the rural road network and township boundaries of Atchison County.
