2012 Map of Crestline

About this map

The Crestline settlement serves as a central point in this Cherokee County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of country roads. Waterways like Shawnee Cr and Little Shawnee Cr cut through the terrain, eventually feeding toward the larger Spring River to the southeast. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Wirtonia Cem north of the main crossroads and the uniquely named Timberhill Oak Hill Cem in the southwestern quadrant. Smaller clusters of development at Lawton and Badger show the persistent rural community structure of southeastern Kansas into the early 21st century. The map traces the paths of primary transit corridors like NE Old Highway 96, reflecting the evolution of regional transportation from historic thoroughfares to modern county infrastructure.
