About this map

Chaffee anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the residential street grid gives way to the rising elevations of Cox Hill and Bell Hill. The town serves as a focal point for local genealogy, housing Union Park Cem and Saint Ambrose Catholic Cem. The surrounding region is defined by extensive water management infrastructure designed to drain the lowlands, including the prominent Castor River Diversion Channel, Dutchtown Ditch, and Hubble Creek. These engineering efforts transformed the area near Old Caney Basin and the former Old Channel Hubble Cr into productive territory.

To the west, smaller settlements like Delta, Allenville, and Blomeyer mark the transition toward the Upper Whitewater Creek drainage. The map reveals a mix of industrial and recreational sites, from the legacy of the Frisco Rd to the waters of Lake Tywappity and Burnett Lake. This modern survey illustrates the persistent intersection of the region's agricultural drainage network with the established railroad-era towns of Scott County.
