2017 Map of Smithville

About this map

Smithville and its surrounding rural landscapes are defined by the intricate shoreline of the Little Platte River system as it appeared in the late 2010s. The map illustrates a region where family history is deeply rooted, marked by several small burial grounds including Reed Cem, Davenport Cem, and Paradise Cem. The settlement of Paradise sits near the eastern finger of the water, while Trimble is positioned to the north, adjacent to the sprawling Trimble Wildlife Lake. Significant water bodies like Kings Lake, Miller Lake, and Lake Remote punctuate the terrain, reflecting the modern hydrological management of the Platte and Clay County borders. Local infrastructure is represented by features such as Starr Airport and the Linn Branch Bridge, alongside a dense network of country roads like SW Kings Rd CO RD 304 and Buena Vista Rd that connect these longstanding Missouri communities.
