2015 Map of Crestline

About this map

Crestline serves as a central hub in this section of Cherokee County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by a grid of section-line roads and the winding path of Shawnee Creek. This region, documented in the mid-2010s, maintains a character rooted in small settlements like Lawton and Badger. The map reveals the area's social history through several burial grounds, including Wirtonia Cem near the center and the Timberhill Oak Hill Cem in the southwest corner. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Spring River, which creates a more varied riparian environment compared to the surrounding farm tracts. The persistence of names like Messer Cem and the complex drainage system of Cow Creek and Little Shawnee Cr reflect a landscape where natural waterways and family-named landmarks still dictate the local geography.
