About this map

The Delaware River meanders through this portion of northeast Kansas, defining the rural landscape where the boundaries of Jackson, Atchison, and Jefferson Counties converge. The small settlement of Arrington sits on the river's western bank, while Larkinburg is situated further west along the county line. This area is characterized by the dissected terrain of the Half Mound region, where numerous tributaries like Catamount Cr, Straight Cr, and Elk Cr have carved the undulating surface.

Family history researchers will find several significant burial sites, including the Larkinburg Cem, Miller Cem, and South Denison Cem. The presence of Nebo Lake and its associated Nebo Cr highlights the water resources that historically shaped local land use. A dense network of section-line roads, such as Half Mound Rd and 238th Rd, provides a clear view of the traditional homestead patterns and agricultural division of the land.
