About this map

The Solomon River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape, its path shadowed by the Union Pacific rail line. This rural Kansas intersection where Mitchell, Cloud, and Ottawa counties meet is defined by a series of sequential watercourses, from First Creek in the east to Fourth Creek in the northwest, which drain the surrounding agricultural uplands.

Genealogical interest is found in three distinct burial grounds: Simpson Cem, Green Mound Cem, and Coursen Grove Cem. These sites, along with the Bohemian Hall in the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflect the settlement patterns of early farming communities in Logan and Stanton townships. The presence of a Quarry near Third Creek suggests local extraction efforts that supported the area's development during the mid-20th century.
