About this map

Green Hollow and Sorghum Hollow dominate the western terrain of this Montgomery County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the plains. The area is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern including California Cr, Illinois Cr, and Coon Cr, which carved the undulating topography seen here. This 2016 survey captures a rural environment structured by a precise grid of county roads, such as Quivira Rd and Kansas Rd 28, which link isolated homesteads and local landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the placement of several local burying grounds, including Rutland Cem, Burton Cem, and Washington Cem. The eastern portion of the map transitions toward more prominent rises like Berry Hill, while Bee Cr Lake provides a central water feature amidst the agricultural sections. The map serves as a detailed record of the border between Chautauqua and Montgomery counties, illustrating how the natural waterways like Onion Cr and Card Cr intersect with property lines and rural infrastructure.
