2021 Map of Drexel

About this map

Drexel sits at the northern edge of this landscape, a settlement straddling the Kansas-Missouri border where Cass and Bates counties meet. The township layout is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural roads, including State Hwy AA and E State Rte 18, which connect the agricultural hinterland to smaller hubs like Merwin. The terrain is shaped by the dendritic drainage patterns of Mormon Fork and Miami Cr, which carve subtle valleys across the plains. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Sharon Cem to the east and Edgewood Cem near the center. The southern portion of the quadrangle reaches into Linn County, while the northern outskirts of Drexel are anchored by Drexel Lake and an industrial corridor, reflecting the town's evolution from a border rail stop to a modern rural center.
