About this map

Larkinburg and Arrington anchor this Jackson County survey, situated along the meandering course of the Delaware River and its various tributaries. The landscape is defined by a strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as Half Mound Rd and Swabville Rd, which section the agricultural terrain into precise blocks. Genealogy and local history are reflected in the presence of several established burial grounds, including Larkinburg Cem, Miller Cem, and S Denison Cem, providing primary location data for regional family researchers.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Nebo Lake and the confluence of Nebo Cr, Elk Cr, and Catamount Cr feeding into the larger river system. In the southwest, the Denison Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility near N Cedar Cr represents the modern utility infrastructure serving the nearby community. The map preserves a moment when small unincorporated communities remained the focal points of a landscape otherwise dominated by expansive Kansas farmland.
