2009 Map of Frankfort SW

About this map

The settlement of Blaine sits in the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a focal point for the rural road network in this part of Pottawatomie County. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, most notably the Clear Fork, which meanders through the central region, and Bluff Creek to the southwest. These drainage systems influenced the placement of early infrastructure and small community centers. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved on this sheet, including Mount Hope Cemetery in the northeast, Cedar Hill Cemetery near the center, and Berg Cemetery to the east. The map shows a transition from earlier settlement patterns to a modern grid of named rural routes such as Parallel Rd and Flint Hill Rd, which connect the isolated farmsteads and creek valleys of the Kansas prairie.
