2009 Map of Garnett NW

About this map

Richmond and Greeley anchor the southern edges of this agricultural landscape in eastern Kansas, where the prairie is defined by a dendritic network of creek branches. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Pottawatomie Creek in the southeast and the various tributaries of the Sac Branch. Family and local history are preserved at sites like Berea Cemetery and Baker Cemetery, while the presence of Cochran Airport north of Richmond reflects the integration of modern transportation into the traditional section-line road grid. The map's extensive naming of rural roads, including John Brown Rd and Tennessee Rd, provides a clear view of the county's early 21st-century infrastructure. This survey illustrates how the landscape remains divided into large agricultural tracts, intersected by seasonal watercourses such as Dry Branch and West Branch Mosquito Creek.
