About this map

Worland and Foster anchor this rural landscape along the Missouri-Kansas border, where the Marais des Cygnes River winds through the northern reaches. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Mulberry Creek, Pecan Creek, and Mine Creek, suggesting a terrain historically shaped by seasonal drainage and riparian corridors. This 2009 survey highlights the geographic transition between the two states, marked formally by the State Line Rd and the State Line Bridge.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Salem Cemetery near Foster and the centrally located Woofin Cemetery. Smaller named locales like Tiger, Ward, and Rucker offer clues to the early 21st-century settlement patterns and local naming traditions. Further south, Cottonwood Creek and New Home Creek feed into the broader watershed, illustrating the persistent agricultural and hydrological character of the region.
