About this map

Fairview and Powhattan serve as the primary hubs in this section of Brown County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of county roads named for birds and trees, such as Golden Eagle Rd and Dogwood Rd. The landscape is etched by a complex drainage system including the Delaware River and the Wolf River, which carve through the terrain and influence the placement of early rural infrastructure.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds recorded here, such as Lambertson Cem, Old Fairview Cem, and Comet Cem. The presence of the Immanuel Lutheran Cem and Saint Paul Cem indicates the cultural and religious foundations of the immigrant communities that settled this prairie. This 2015 update provides a modern layer of detail over these long-established Kansas townships.
