About this map

Arrington and Larkinburg serve as the primary hubs of this landscape where the Delaware River winds through the borderlands of Jackson, Atchison, and Jefferson counties. The terrain reflects a quiet rural transition with small settlements like Nebo and South Denison anchored by their respective burial grounds, including the South Denison Cem and Miller Cem. Civil engineering of the mid-20th century is evident through the inclusion of a local Landing Field near Larkinburg and the creation of Nebo Lake.

Drainage patterns are heavily defined by the river and its many tributaries, such as Straight Creek, Elk Creek, and Catamount Creek. A notable Gravel Pit indicates local industry, while the photorevisions from the late 1970s illustrate subtle changes in the rural road network and structural footprints since the original 1960 survey, providing a valuable comparative layer for those studying the evolution of these Kansas townships.
