About this map

Cherokee and Weir serve as the primary hubs in this portion of Southeast Kansas, where the landscape is defined by the transition between the rolling hills of Crawford and Cherokee counties. The map documents a cluster of small communities and mining-era settlements, including Scammon, Roseland, Carona, and the northern edge of Mackie. These towns are interconnected by a grid of rural roads like NW Coal Valley Rd and NE Scammon Rd, reflecting the region's agricultural and industrial history.

Several cemeteries, such as Cherokee Cem and Saint Bridget Cem, provide valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the tri-state area. The drainage network is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with Cherry Cr, Little Cherry Cr, and Brush Cr meandering through the countryside. This contemporary survey captures the modern configuration of these historic prairie settlements while preserving the nomenclature of the original survey townships and sections.
