1984 Map of Whitesville

About this map

The Platte River meanders through this portion of Andrew County, its course defined by numerous Sand Areas and the confluence of several local waterways. Small agricultural hubs like Whitesville and Empire Prairie anchor the rural landscape, connected by a network of country roads that follow the section lines of the survey grid. Near the river's bend, Elrod Mill State Access Area provides a point of entry to the water, while the presence of scattered Cem markers and rural settlements like Flag Springs and Cawood offer a look into the local genealogy and township development of the mid-1980s. The terrain is deeply dissected by a drainage network including Hickory Creek, Clear Creek, and Agee Creek, which have carved the surrounding Empire and Platte uplands over time.
