2018 Map of Belleville SE

About this map

Belleville anchors the northwestern corner of this Republic County landscape, where the town grid meets a sprawling network of agricultural section roads. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of the Republican River watershed, including the winding paths of Salt Cr and Coal Cr. Outside of the primary settlement, the map reveals a rural social geography centered around crossroads and small community focal points like Tabor. Genealogists will find significant value in the dispersed burial sites that mark the history of local families and congregations, such as Pleasant Hill Cem, Saint Katherine Cem, and Saint Georges Cem. The land is meticulously partitioned into townships including t2s r2w and t3s r3w, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Kansas plains.
