2022 Map of Shannon City

About this map

Shannon City sits at the southern edge of Union County, positioned along the border with Ringgold County. This agricultural landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Platte and Grand Rivers, which carve through the terrain between a regular grid of section roads. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites that speak to the long-standing community roots in the area, including Oakland Cem just outside the town limits, and the smaller Ide Family Cem to the northwest. These cemeteries, alongside Harmony Cem and Union Cem, serve as primary markers of local heritage in a region where the natural flow of the E Platte River and the Grand River has dictated the placement of farms and homesteads for generations. The road network, primarily composed of numeric avenues and streets like 220th St and 180th Ave, connects these rural sites to the local center at Shannon City.
