About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River meanders through this portion of Miami County, defining a landscape shaped by its numerous tributaries like Middle Cr and Hushpuckney Cr. The small community of Fontana serves as the local anchor, surrounded by a grid of rural roads including Victory Rd and Block Rd that connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots.

Several cemeteries are noted throughout the quadrangle, including the Fontana Cem, Debrick Cem, and Frank Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this rural Kansas corridor. To the east, the waters of Miami County State Lake and Hunters Lake offer a distinct shift from the surrounding farmland. The presence of the Block Trinity Lutheran Cem in the northern section highlights the area's early community centers and social foundations.
