About this map

Beattie serves as the primary hub of this northern Kansas landscape, centered at the intersection of Elm St and Main St. The town's religious and community history is anchored by Saint Malachys Cem and the Beattie Union Cem to the north, while the rural surrounding sections are dotted with more isolated burial grounds like Life Cem. The drainage patterns of Marshall County are clearly defined by the winding course of Wolf Cr near the settlement and the extensive reach of Robidoux Creek, which snakes through the western townships.

A grid of section roads, many bearing names of indigenous tribes or local wildlife like Osage Rd, Navajo Rd, and Pheasant Rd, organizes the agricultural terrain. To the southwest, the small community of Winifred marks another point of interest for researchers tracing the development of local townships and transportation routes across the prairie. The map documents the persistent layout of these rural corridors and the waterways, such as Little Timber Cr and Snipe Cr, that continue to shape the local geography.
