About this map

Colony serves as the central hub of this Anderson County landscape, organized by a precise grid of rural roads named for various states. The town's interior structure is defined by thoroughfares like E Broad St and Depot St, reflecting a history tied to transportation and commerce. Just south of the town center lies the Colony Cem, while the more distant Pleasant Valley Cem is situated near the southern edge of the map, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research.

The topography is characterized by the winding paths of Deer Cr and Little Deer Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. Infrastructure such as the Colony Wastewater Treatment Facility marks the modern utility footprint of the community. The surrounding countryside is interconnected by a network of state-named routes, including SW Indiana Rd and SW Kentucky Rd, which facilitate movement across the rolling plains of eastern Kansas.
