2017 Map of Tarsney Lakes

About this map

The eastern edges of Blue Springs and Grain Valley give way to a transition between residential expansion and the traditional rural landscape of Jackson County. Local topography is dominated by the W Fork Sni-A-Bar Cr and the main Sni-A-Bar Cr, which wind through the center of the sheet toward the older settlement of Sni Mills. Genealogical interest is dense here, with numerous family and community burial grounds including Purdee Chapel Cem, Gosney Cem, and Adams Cem scattered across the township lines. The recreational character of the area is anchored by Tarsney Lakes and the northeastern reach of Lake Lotawana. Small private airstrips like Michael Farm Airport and Powis Airport emphasize the region's low-density development during this period of the twenty-first century.
