About this map

Arcadia and the surrounding Crawford County countryside are documented in this 2009 survey, revealing a landscape deeply rooted in agrarian history and community genealogy. The area is defined by the winding paths of West Fork Dry Wood Creek and Richland Creek, which shape the local topography around small settlements like Cato and Dry Wood. A significant number of family and community burial grounds are found throughout the quadrangle, including the Old Arcadia Cemetery, Pine Lawn Cemetery, and Tweedy Cemetery, providing a dense record of the region's early settlers and family lines.

To the south, Bunker Hill stands as a prominent elevation point near the intersection of various rural routes such as E 700th Ave. The map also captures the grid of section lines and secondary roads like Arrowhead Rd and Calvary Rd that link the scattered homesteads and the town of Garland in the northeast. This detailed topographic view preserves the late-20th and early-21st-century footprint of these rural Kansas townships.
