About this map

Aliceville serves as the central hub of this Coffey County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a grid of rural roads and numerous small stream drainages. The area is marked by several significant burial grounds, including Altamont Cem just east of the main settlement and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem to the west. These sites, along with Quisling Cem and Star Cem, suggest a history of tightly knit rural congregations and family homesteads dispersed across the plains.

A network of creeks, including Crooked Cr, Tauckett Cr, and Silver Cr, meanders through the townships, influencing the placement of the section-line roads. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the Coffey Co Anderson Co boundary, illustrating how political lines bisect this agricultural region. The map provides a contemporary view of these established land patterns, from the headwaters of Little Indian Cr to the small tributary of Bowmans Br.
