2009 Map of Everest

About this map

Everest serves as the primary hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated near the headwaters of the South Fork Wolf River and Otter Creek. The area's agricultural character is defined by a grid of rural routes like Plum Tree Rd and Sunflower Rd, connecting small settlements and numerous burial grounds that provide significant genealogical data. To the southwest, the village of Kennekuk sits near the Kennekuk Cemetery, marking a location of local historical interest. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the Atchison County Dam and Clear Creek Lake, showing the management of Clear Creek in this part of the county. These water features, alongside Hazel Creek in the northwest, illustrate the drainage patterns essential to the region's farming heritage.
