About this map

State Line Road serves as the dividing line between Missouri and Kansas, splitting this rural landscape where Cass County meets Johnson and Miami Counties. The settlement pattern is anchored by small towns and unincorporated communities like Cleveland, West Line, and Freeman, with the western edge of Peculiar appearing in the northeast corner. Historically significant sites for genealogists include several well-distributed burial grounds such as Glenwild Cemetery, Corinth Cemetery, and Frazee Cemetery, which speak to the long-established farming communities in the area.

The terrain is defined by the drainage of the South Grand River and its various tributaries including Poney Creek and Klasseu Creek. Numerous small water bodies like Al Jurgeson Lake, Lake Annette, and Kurzweil Lake punctuate the grid of country roads. Local aviation is noted at Williams Airport and Veach Field, while the presence of Riverview Estates indicates modern residential development near the northern boundary.
