About this map

Elk City Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Montgomery County landscape, where the waters are fed by drainage from Card Creek and Chetopa Creek. The topography is defined by several prominent elevations, including Bald Mound and Walker Mound, which rise above the surrounding agricultural grid. This 2010 survey shows the rural character of the region, anchored by small settlements like Bolton and Blake.

Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds preserved here: Quaker Cemetery, Highland Center Cemetery, and Harrisonville Cemetery. To the southeast, the modern infrastructure of Independence Municipal Airport marks a transition from the winding courses of Onion Creek and Rock Creek toward more developed transportation corridors. The map records a detailed network of named rural routes, such as Old Hwy and Berryhill Rd, providing a precise look at the township's land use in the early 21st century.
