About this map

Blaine sits in the southern portion of this landscape, marking a key point of settlement along the border of Pottawatomie and Marshall Counties. The area is defined by the winding course of the Clear Fork, which feeds a series of smaller tributaries including De Shazer Cr, Jim Cr, and Bluff Cr. The region is structured by a methodical grid of rural roads such as Parallel Rd and Maple Grove Rd, reflecting the late-era agricultural layout of the Kansas prairie. Genealogists will find three distinct burial sites preserved across these sections, including Mount Hope Cem in the north, Cedar Hill Cem centrally located near Shannon Rd, and Berg Cem to the east. The terrain represents a transition from high prairie divides down into the wooded draws of the Clear Fork basin.
