About this map

Cleveland and West Line anchor this rural landscape in Cass County, where the transition from agricultural land to small-town settlement is clearly defined. The terrain is marked by a network of local waterways, including the South Grand River and Poney Creek, which feed into several private and community reservoirs like Lake Annette and Kurzweil Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides a precise record of several family and community burial grounds, such as Glenwild Cemetery, Corinth Cemetery, Frazee Cemetery, and the Cleveland Cemetery.

Aviation and infrastructure also leave their mark on this portion of Missouri, with the Flying M Ranch Airport situated north of the main settlements. The grid of country roads, from W 220th St to E 267th St, connects the scattered farmsteads and shows the continued importance of land-management facilities like the Cass County Midway Wastewater Treatment Facility and the Belton Wastewater Treatment Facility to the local community.
