About this map

Council Grove serves as the focal point of this 2009 survey, situated where the Neosho River meets the expansive Council Grove Lake. The map details the town's street grid, including historic routes like Old Hwy 56 and Old Hwy 4, which trace the evolution of travel in Morris County. North of the Council Grove Dam, the landscape transitions into a network of section-line roads and creek drainages that define this portion of the Flint Hills region.

Industrial and aviation interests are noted by the presence of the John Creek Oil Field in the northeast and the Alexander Ranch Airport just west of the river. The complex hydrology of the area is mapped through several tributaries, including Big John Creek, Little John Creek, and Ritchey Creek. This document preserves the spatial arrangement of the town and its rural outskirts at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
