About this map

Arrington and Larkinburg serve as the primary focal points of this Jackson County landscape, situated where several significant waterways converge. The Delaware River winds through the eastern portion of the territory, joined by the waters of Elk Creek, Straight Creek, and Nebo Creek. This network of tributaries underscores the drainage patterns vital to the region's agricultural layout, which is organized by a precise grid of rural routes such as Half Mound Rd and Bourbon Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of established burial grounds, including Miller Cemetery, Larkinburg Cemetery, and the South Denison Cemetery at the southern edge. The map also captures infrastructure like the Denision Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility, providing a contemporary view of the community's utility footprint. The combination of family-named cemeteries and the enduring township grid reflects the deep-rooted settlement history of this Kansas prairie land.
