About this map

Fontana serves as the primary settlement center for this eastern Kansas landscape, situated near the headwaters of several local drainages. The Marais des Cygnes River winds through the northern portion of the map, creating a complex floodplain that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural uplands. Significant recreational and water management features are present, most notably the Miami County State Lake and the nearby Hunters Lake, which define the central terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial grounds, including Fontana Cem, Debrick Cem, and the Block Trinity Lutheran Cem. The presence of the Po and various township and range lines, such as t18s r23e, provide a clear framework for property research and historical land use. Numerous creeks, including Middle Cr, Hushpuckney Cr, and Twin Springs Cr, further delineate the rural landscape as it transitions toward the Miami-Linn County border.
