About this map

Crestline and the surrounding agricultural lands of Cherokee County are defined by the winding paths of the Spring River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the rural landscape at a time when small communities like Lawton and Badger remained key nodes in the local grid. The map provides a detailed view of the area's hydrology, including the courses of Cow Creek, Shawnee Creek, and Little Shawnee Cr, which meander through the township divisions of T32S and T33S.

For those tracing family history in this corner of Kansas, several localized landmarks offer significant research value. The Wirtonia Cem, Messer Cem, and the uniquely named Timberhill Oak Hill Cem are clearly marked, anchoring the legacy of early residents to the physical terrain. The intersection of local roads like NE Lawton Rd and SE Wyandotte Rd illustrates the enduring section-line road network that has organized this prairie landscape for generations.
