2009 Map of West Line

About this map

Cleveland and West Line anchor this residential and agricultural corridor in western Missouri, just as the regional landscape was transitioning toward suburban expansion in the late 2000s. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Glenwild Cemetery, Corinth Cemetery, Cleveland Cemetery, and Frazee Cemetery, providing a wealth of information for genealogical research in this part of Cass County. Water management is a defining feature of the area, characterized by numerous small impoundments such as Al Jurgeson Lake Dam, Wells Lake Dam, and Bartlett Lake Dam situated along tributaries like Massey Creek and East Creek. To the southeast, the residential cluster of Lake Annette sits near the banks of the South Grand River, while the Flying M Ranch Airport serves as a distinct local landmark among the grid of township roads. The map also documents essential infrastructure, such as the Belton Wastewater Treatment Facility and the Cass County Midway Wastewater Treatment Facility.
