2022 Map of Brazilton

About this map

Brazilton and Greenbush anchor this Crawford County landscape, where the rectangular survey system of Section, Township, and Range remains the dominant organizing principle. The map reveals a high density of small rural burial grounds, suggesting the deep genealogical roots of the area's agricultural community. Notable sites include the Lutheran Cem to the north and the Spangler Pleasant Valley Cem further south. The terrain is subtly drained by several meandering waterways, specifically Lightning Cr, Hickory Cr, and Elm Cr, which cut through the grid of county roads. These gravel and paved routes, such as W 650th Ave and W 620th Ave, follow the section lines, defining the movement and settlement patterns of this Southeast Kansas prairie region.
