About this map

Cottonwood River and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor define the southern landscape of this Kansas quadrangle. The settlement of Cedar Point serves as the primary focal point, situated at the confluence where several waterways meet the river valley. The map reveals a rural structure characterized by family and community landmarks, including the Drinkwater Cem near the town site and the Montgomery Cem further north.

Evidence of shifting rural populations is visible in the note for School No 56 (Abandoned) in the western hills, while the Immanuel Ch remains a landmark near Diamond Creek. The drainage patterns of French Creek, Silver Creek, and Cedar Creek carve the upland prairie, showing the intersection of the Marion Co Chase Co boundary. Revisions from the early 1980s highlight modern infrastructure like a Pipeline crossing the northern sections.
