About this map

The Marias Des Cygnes River meanders across this borderland between Missouri and Kansas, defined by an extensive system of Levee fortifications protecting the surrounding bottomlands. The landscape reflects a legacy of extraction and transit, where an Old Railroad Grade cuts through the terrain near Worland and Tiger. Industrial activity is evident in the presence of a Strip Mine, Mine, and a Gravel Pit, signaling the region's reliance on geological resources during the late twentieth century.

Local genealogy is well-represented through scattered community landmarks like Salem Cem near Foster and the Independence Ch further south. Small settlements such as Rucker and the northern edge of Hume anchor the rural grid, while water features like Walnut Creek and Mulberry Creek drain the undulating plains. The map meticulously records the intersection of Linn Co Bates Co and the Kansas Missouri state line, capturing the quiet, persistent character of this agricultural and mining district.
