About this map

Pottawatomie Cr and its various tributaries, including Iantha Cr and Fish Cr, carve through this section of Anderson County, defining the drainage patterns of the eastern Kansas prairie. The map documents a landscape transitioning from the grid-aligned agricultural homesteads near Glenlock to the larger waters of the Cedar Valley Reservoir in the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of small community burial grounds across the townships, such as the Amish Cem, West Scipio Cem, and Pleasantview Cem. These sites, along with the Baptist Cem, suggest the deep-rooted religious and ethnic pockets that settled this region. The western edge of Garnett is also visible, showing the early 21st-century residential footprint and its relation to the surrounding rural road network.
