About this map

The Neosho River meanders across this rural Kansas landscape, creating a complex series of oxbows and bends between the settlements of Americus and Dunlap. The geography is defined by a dendritic network of tributaries including Kahola Creek, Wrights Creek, and the aptly named Troublesome Creek, which cut through a strictly surveyed section-line road grid.

Local history is anchored by the Dunlap Cemetery near the northern boundary and the Fruitland Cemetery further south, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research in Lyon County. The town of Americus is shown with its established street plan, featuring a mix of numbered ways like 10th St and named routes like Walnut St and Americus Rd, while Dunlap remains a distinct clustered settlement to the northwest.
