2018 Map of Garnett West

About this map

Garnett anchors the southeastern corner of this Anderson County landscape, where the town's residential grid transitions into a network of section-line roads and winding waterways. The western outskirts of the city are defined by the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail, which traces the former path of the railroad through a landscape drained by Cedar Creek and Pottawatomie Cr. The rural character of the region is evident in the numerous family and community landmarks, including the Glenlock settlement and a series of burial grounds that reflect the area's diverse heritage. Researchers can find the Amish Cem and West Scipio Cem in the northern and southern reaches, while the central hills are marked by the Pleasantview Cem and Baptist Cem. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and cemetery patterns of eastern Kansas, showing how modern corridors like the rail trail follow the established routes of earlier transportation systems.
