About this map

Bolton and Blake serve as central points in this Montgomery County landscape, where the prairie begins to meet the waters of Elk City Lake. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Bald Mound and Walker Mound, which break the agricultural grid of the Kansas plains. This area reveals a dense history of rural community life, marked by numerous small burial grounds including Quaker Cem, Highland Center Cem, and Harrisonville Cem.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Independence Municipal Airport situated just west of the city limits and the Patterson Farms Airport to the northwest. A complex network of drainage, including Onion Cr, Chetopa Cr, and Squaw Cr, carves through the township lines of t32s r14e and t33s r15e. The southern edge of the survey reaches toward Wayside, illustrating the transition from open farmland to the outskirts of Independence.
