2022 Map of Everest

About this map

Everest and the surrounding farmland of Brown and Atchison counties are characterized by a dense network of local cemeteries and small-scale aviation. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the S Fork Wolf River, Otter Creek, and Buttermilk Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the agricultural grid. Notable local landmarks for researchers include the Bent Nail Ranch Airport and a concentration of denominational burial grounds like the Zion Lutheran Church Cem and Saint Leos Catholic Cem. Further south, the settlement of Kennekuk sits near the Kennekuk Cem, marking a site with deep ties to the region's early transit history. The map's grid of section roads, such as Mulberry Road and Sunflower Road, illustrates the enduring structure of Kansas township organization.
