2015 Map of Cherokee

About this map

Cherokee and Weir serve as the primary hubs in this southeastern Kansas landscape, where a dense grid of section roads and small-town plats reveals the region's historic mining and agricultural footprint. The topography is marked by several water bodies, including Cherokee Tank and the meandering paths of Cherry Cr and Little Shawnee Cr. Clusters of smaller settlements like Scammon, Roseland, and Carona are situated in close proximity, suggesting a legacy of concentrated labor and transport centers. Several local burial sites, such as Hosey Hill Cem and Saint Bridget Cem, provide valuable landmarks for genealogical research. The map illustrates the transition from urban street grids to the open reaches along NE Coal Valley Rd, reflecting the spatial organization of Crawford and Cherokee counties.
