About this map

Rutland Cem, Burton Cem, and Washington Cem anchor this Montgomery County landscape, marking the established rural communities of the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, where Bee Creek and Illinois Creek carve through the prairie towards southern Kansas. The presence of Bee Creek Lake and topographic landmarks like Green Hollow and Sorghum Hollow suggest a landscape used for both local agriculture and watershed management. A rigid grid of section-line roads, including Kansas Rd and Independence Rd, divides the territory, connecting isolated farmsteads and rural properties. The eastern edge of the survey is bordered by Onion Creek and Deer Creek, while Berry Hill rises in the southeast, providing a clear picture of the region's drainage patterns and settled geography before more modern developments altered these rural corridors.
