About this map

Coffey County Lake dominates the central landscape of this eastern Kansas survey, its irregular shoreline reaching north from the massive cooling reservoir infrastructure. The Neosho River meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle, passing just east of the city of Burlington. This river corridor is a focal point for local development, including the Burlington Water Treatment Facility and the Kelley Park Rodeo Arena, which serve as community landmarks near the water's edge.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved across the rural countryside, from Mount Hope Cem and Graceland Cem near the city center to more outlying locations like Sherwood Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Center Hill Cem. These sites, along with physical features like Jackrabbit Hill and tributaries such as Wolf Cr and Long Cr, document the established land patterns and community ties in the region during the early 21st century.
