1991 Map of Deerfield

About this map

The Marmaton River and Dry Wood Creek define the drainage of this borderland area where Kansas and Missouri meet. In the late twentieth century, the landscape shows a mix of agricultural use and extraction, evidenced by several Oil Wells, a Quarry, and a Strip Mine scattered across the Coal and Richland townships. Smaller settlements like Eve and Swart are clustered near the rail lines, while the community of Deerfield sits on the eastern edge. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of Clayton Ch and several rural burial grounds, including Coleman Cem, Cox Cem, and Logan Cem. The topography is generally level, though distinct elevations such as Vetters Hill and Vergil Mound provide relief above the surrounding creek branches.
