1981 Map of Shannon City
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Shannon City straddles the southern border of Union County, where the iron rails of the Chicago and North Western transportation corridor parallel the Grand River. This 1981 survey reveals a landscape deeply carved by river systems, including the East Platte River and its West Branch, which define the agricultural townships of Platte and Douglas. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a precise guide to rural landmarks such as Harmony Cem, Mortimer Cem, and Oakland Cem. The terrain is shaped by the transition between the rolling uplands and the river valleys of Indian Creek and Plum Creek, illustrating the intersection of rail infrastructure and the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of settlements like Kent and the surrounding farming communities.
