2012 Map of Brazilton

About this map

Brazilton and Greenbush anchor this segment of the Kansas prairie, where the landscape is meticulously divided by a grid of agricultural section roads. The 2012 topography shows a terrain carved by the winding paths of Lightning Cr, Elm Cr, and Hickory Cr, which disrupt the rigid geometry of thoroughfares like W 690th Ave and N 120th St. This area of Crawford County preserves several small burial grounds that reflect the lineage of local families and congregations, including the Spangler Pleasant Valley Cem, Iowa Cem, and the Lutheran Cem. The intersection of E Bredehoeft St in Brazilton serves as a central point in an area otherwise dominated by open fields and farmsteads. This map provides a detailed view of rural land use and drainage patterns in southeastern Kansas at the beginning of the 21st century.
