About this map

Dewey Mound, Long Mound, and the namesake Five Mounds define the rising elevation of this Neosho County landscape. This 2010 survey reveals a rural territory structured by a precise grid of local roads like Anderson Rd and Brown Rd, which intersect the natural drainage patterns of Pumpkin Creek and Little Cedar Creek. The distribution of these namesake mounds suggests a specific geological character in this part of Kansas, where small peaks break the surrounding plains.

Genealogists can locate significant burial sites such as Pleasant Valley Cemetery and Crane Cemetery, both situated near the headwaters of seasonal streams. The map traces the winding paths of Big Cedar Creek and Chetopa Creek, illustrating how the agricultural layout adapts to the local hydrology. This document provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and named topographic features that define the identity of the region.
