About this map

Courtland and Formoso anchor the southeastern and southwestern corners of this agricultural landscape in Republic County. The terrain is defined by the managed flow of the Courtland West Canal, which cuts across the prairie to support local farming. To the north, the small settlement of Lovewell sits near the banks of White Rock Cr, while the winding courses of Beaver Cr and Mud Cr drain the central and eastern sections of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds distributed throughout the rural sections, including Persinger Cem, Laurel Hill Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Balch Cem. These sites, along with the Courtland Cem near the town center, reflect the long-standing family farmstead patterns of north-central Kansas. The road network remains strictly gridded, with routes such as Omio Rd and 285th Rd providing access to the expansive fields between these quiet communities.
