About this map

Dry Wood Creek and its many branches, including West Fork Dry Wood Creek and McKill Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this landscape on the Kansas-Missouri border. The settlement of Arcadia anchors the southwest corner, showing a structured grid of streets like S Ohio St and E Arcadia St. Small, distributed rural communities such as Garland, Oskaloosa, and Le Roy are connected by a network of section-line roads, illustrating the persistent agrarian character of the region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Davis Cemetery and Heaviside Cemetery in the north, and Gill Cemetery and Shiloh Cemetery further south. Distinctive topographic features like Blue Mound and Martin Mound provide natural landmarks in an otherwise steady terrain, while Steele Lake Dam indicates local water management on the creek system.
