About this map

Emmett sits at the heart of this rural landscape, characterized by a grid of country roads and the meandering paths of several significant waterways. The settlement patterns of Pottawatomie County are clearly visible through the placement of Saint Clere to the north and the small community of Aikins in the northwest. Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of Saint Clere Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers of the area's family histories and early parishes.

The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Cross Creek, Little Noxie Creek, and Bourbonais Creek, which cut across the predominantly agricultural sections. The map shows the transition from established town streets like 7th St to named rural routes such as Crystal Springs Rd and Saint Clere Rd. This survey documents the intersection of natural hydrology and a structured land-use system that continues to shape the community in the early 21st century.
