2018 Map of Blue Mound

About this map

Blue Mound serves as the primary hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated at the junction of several county lines where Linn, Anderson, Allen, and Bourbon counties meet. The township is characterized by a high density of rural cemeteries, including Pleasant View Cem, Sunny Slope Cem, and Blue Mound Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. The drainage patterns are a defining geographic element, as the headwaters of the Little Osage River converge here. The map clearly delineates the N Fork Little Osage River, Middle Fork Little Osage River, and the S Fork Sugar Cr, illustrating how these waterways have historically shaped the agricultural boundaries and road placements of the region.
