2015 Map of Diamond Springs

About this map

Diamond Springs is the primary focal point of this 2015 survey, situated in a landscape defined by the intricate headwaters of several Flint Hills drainages. The topography is marked by the winding courses of Silver Cr and Dodds Cr which carve through the high prairie. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites provide important land markers, including the Diamond Springs Cem and the Diamond Creek Cem, as well as the family-named Boenitz Cem near the southern boundary. The map illustrates a rural network of section-line roads such as Diamond Creek Rd and Helmick Rd, crossing the border between Morris Co and Chase Co. Small watercourses like School Cr and Schaffer Cr crisscross the region, indicating the complex hydrology of this agricultural and ranching upland.
