About this map

Stranger Creek winds through the heart of this Leavenworth County landscape, shaping a drainage network that includes Buckhorn Creek, Buttermilk Creek, and Dawson Creek. The settlement of Easton serves as a primary hub, complete with the Easton Post Office, while smaller locales like Springdale and the intersection at Eightmile House anchor the rural community. The road system is a blend of modern numbering and historical routes, most notably the Santa Fe Trl crossing the northeastern corner.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Bethel Cemetery, Saint Thomas Cemetery, and High Prairie Cemetery. The terrain is punctuated by small bodies of water such as Miller Lake and Lake Stellamaris, reflecting the agricultural and residential development of the early 21st century. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named roads like Turner Rd and Meagher Rd connect scattered farmsteads across the undulating Kansas prairie.
