About this map

The Platte River flows through the southern reach of this Missouri landscape, anchoring a region defined by a intricate network of drainage branches and small rural settlements. Near the river, the town of Tracy and the community of West Platte serve as focal points for local transport and commerce. The terrain is crisscrossed by several named creeks, including Bee Creek and Owl Creek, which have shaped the agricultural layout of the county. North of the river, small aviation sites like the North Platte Airpark, Flintlock Field, and the Schaback Strip indicate the importance of private flight in this open country.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the rural burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Kitchen Cemetery in the west, Fulton Cemetery near Rogers Lake, and Wilkerson Cemetery further south. The map also documents several named crossroads and small locales such as Woodruff, Haydite, and Stubbs, along with the paths of historical routes like Old Pike Rd and Interurban Rd, which provide evidence of earlier transportation corridors.
