2012 Map of White Cloud

About this map

The Missouri River carves the northeastern border of this region, where the town of White Cloud sits at the edge of the water. This 2012 survey shows the grid-like expansion of rural roads extending from the river bluffs into the agricultural uplands, including White Cloud Rd and Thrasher Rd. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family-named burial grounds located near the watercourses, such as Tesson Cem and Olive Branch Cem situated near Squaw Cr. Further north, Partlow Cem overlooks the drainage basin. The landscape is defined by its numerous tributaries, including Mill Cr and Cedar Cr, which cut through the terrain as they move toward the main river channel. These waterways historically dictated the placement of roads and early farmsteads in Doniphan County.
