About this map

The Neosho River meanders across this rural Kansas landscape, where the borders of Lyon, Morris, and Chase counties meet. The settlement of Dunlap serves as a focal point for local history, notably featuring the Dunlap African American Cem and the Dunlap Cem. These sites, along with Fruitland Cem to the south, provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research in this agricultural region.

Modern recreation and heritage intersect along the Flint Hills Nature Trail, which traverses the northwest corner of the map. To the southeast, the town of Americus is laid out in a traditional grid with streets such as Mulberry St and Hackberry St. The terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Wrights Cr, Troublesome Cr, and Kahola Cr, which feed the river valley and dictate the placement of the section-line road network.
