About this map

Weston sits prominently on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, where the state line shifts between Kansas and Missouri. This 2014 survey captures the distinct landscape of the river bottomlands, including Fancy Bottom, Harpst Island, and the sweeping curve of Weston Bend. The river geography is further defined by historic side channels like Wellson Slough and Harpst Chute, which reflect the dynamic nature of this waterway.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds across the borderlands, from Laurel Hill Cemetery and Graceland Cemetery in the east to the Kickapoo Memorial Cemetery and Kickapoo Sacred Heart Cemetery near the settlement of Kickapoo. To the north, the small community of Iatan is situated near Indian Mound Lakes, while Sadler anchors the flat agricultural lands of the bottoms. The detailed road network, including Dye Store Rd and Harpst Rd, provides a clear view of modern land use in this river valley.
