2015 Map of Boicourt

About this map

Linn Valley and La Cygne anchor this portion of eastern Kansas, where the landscape is defined by the broad floodplain of the Marais des Cygnes River. The map reveals a complex water system, from the wide expanse of La Cygne Lake to the marshy wetlands surrounding Boicourt Lake and the winding course of Middle Cr. Local history is preserved through several family and community landmarks, including Ninety Six Cem and the evocatively named Sway Back Cem. Traces of the region's industrial past are visible on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the PR RD Old Coal Mine Haul Rd cuts across the terrain near the Linn County line. The settlement of Boicourt sits at a geographic transition, nestled between the river's bends and the rising uplands to the east.
