Big Hill Lake dominates the central and southwestern portion of this Labette County landscape, where modern parkways like Mound Valley Pkwy and Timberhill Pkwy now wind around its irregular shoreline. The reservoir has transformed the local drainage, capturing the waters of Big Hill Cr and Wildcat Cr. To the north, the small settlement of Dennis sits at the intersection of Gray Rd and 24000 Rd, while the older landmarks of Twin Mounds and Bender Mounds rise above the surrounding plains. Genealogists will find interest in the well-preserved locations of Harmony Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, which anchor the rural community. The map also documents the eastern reaches of the area, including the small locales of Fern and Grove, positioned near Little Labette Cr and Bachelor Cr.
