About this map

Blaine sits at the southern edge of this section of the Kansas landscape, marking a concentrated point of settlement amidst a sprawling network of rural roads and watercourses. The area is defined by the drainage systems of Clear Fork and Bluff Cr, which carve through the terrain and dictate the placement of early travel routes like Flint Hill Rd and Parallel Rd. The map reveals a deeply established rural community, evidenced by several family or neighborhood burial grounds including Cedar Hill Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and Berg Cem. The presence of Lone Tree Rd and Maple Grove Rd suggests a landscape where specific botanical landmarks once served as vital navigational aids for residents traveling between the many numbered range lines. The transition between the Marshall County and Pottawatomie County line is clearly delineated, showing how these political boundaries intersect with the natural flow of creeks like Jim Cr and De Shazer Cr.
