2009 Map of Cherokee

About this map

Cherokee and Weir serve as the primary hubs in this Southeast Kansas landscape, where the grid of rural roads connects several smaller communities and family heritage sites. The terrain is marked by the drainage patterns of Wolf Creek and Brush Creek in the north, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the headwaters of Little Cherry Creek and Little Shawnee Creek. This 2009 survey highlights a significant concentration of local burial grounds, including Cherokee Cemetery, Hosey Hill Cemetery, and Saint Anthony Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in the area. Smaller named locales such as Roseland, Scammon, and the crossroads at Klondike illustrate the historic settlement density of the county, while features like Daisy Hill and Mackie indicate the persistent naming of specific localities within the agricultural and residential landscape.
