About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River winds through this Miami County landscape, carving a broad valley that defines the local topography south of Fontana. This modern survey illustrates a rural Kansas environment where water management and conservation are central, highlighted by the presence of Miami County State Lake and smaller bodies like Hunters Lake. The settlement of Fontana remains the primary hub, situated near the intersection of N Osage St and W 387th St.

For those tracing family history, the map precisely locates several local burial grounds, including Block Trinity Lutheran Cem in the north and Fontana Cem just west of the town center. The drainage patterns of numerous tributaries, such as Hushpuckney Cr and Twin Springs Cr, show how the land is divided by natural watercourses even as a rigid grid of county roads, such as Victory Rd and Columbia Rd, attempts to organize the terrain. The southern edge of the map records the county boundary at the Miami Co Linn Co line.
