About this map

The Missouri River defines the landscape of this 2012 survey, winding past the historic river town of Weston and the settlement of Kickapoo. The map details a complex riparian environment of chutes and bends, including Harpst Chute and the prominent Weston Bend. This shifting hydrology is evidenced by features like Wellson Slough and Harpst Island, which sit nestled within the river's broad floodplain.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, such as Lawn Hill Cemetery and Graceland Cemetery near Weston, and the Hawkins Cemetery to the north. Smaller settlements like Iatan, Sadler, and Dye are connected by a network of rural routes, while the Salt Creek Valley and Fancy Bottom illustrate the naming conventions of the region's diverse topography. Aviation is also noted by the FORT LEAVENWORTH AAF Landing Strip at the southern edge.
