About this map

Honey Creek and its various tributaries, including Cave Springs Branch and Elm Creek, define the landscape of eastern Delaware County in this 2012 survey. The settlement of Dodge serves as a central point in a region primarily organized by a grid of rural roads and section lines. The western edge of the quadrangle is marked by the shoreline of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, which contrasts with the inland agricultural and aviation focus around Grove Municipal Airport.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its high density of family and community burial grounds. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered throughout the rural landscape, including Butler Cemetery, Scraper Cemetery, and Snell Cemetery. The presence of these sites, alongside others like Polson Cemetery and Pollan Cemetery, suggests a long history of family homesteads and established rural communities that persisted into the twenty-first century.
