About this map

The Kansas River winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary between Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee Counties. The settlement of Belvue sits just north of the river, anchored by a grid of streets including Broadway St and Mills Ave. The area’s historical depth is evident in its naming conventions, with Oregon Trail Rd and Old Post Rd suggesting long-established transportation corridors through the river valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved across the township, including Belvue Cem near the town center, Greenwood Cem to the southeast, and Saint Johns Cem tucked away near Wells Creek Rd. Tributaries like Vermillion Creek, Lost Cr, and Little Wells Cr carve through the terrain, creating a network of drainage that historically dictated the placement of rural roads such as Strowigs Mill Rd and Mount Calvary Rd.
