About this map

Fontana serves as the primary settlement on this eastern Kansas landscape, situated near the intersection of Lone Elm Rd and W 387th St. The town's layout is defined by streets such as N Osage St and N East St, while the surrounding rural acreage is partitioned by an extensive grid of section-line roads. This transportation network supports a landscape shaped by significant watercourses, most notably the meandering Marais Des Cygnes River in the northwest and Middle Creek to the south.

Local history and community landmarks include the Debrick Cemetery, located north of the town center. The creation of Miami County State Lake and the associated Miami County State Lake Dam represent a modern transformation of the natural drainage provided by Elm Branch and Hushpuckney Creek. The map illustrates the 21st-century configuration of these rural land divisions and the hydrologic features that continue to influence the Miami County countryside.
