About this map

The border of Coffey and Woodson counties defines the southern portion of this landscape, where the prairie is dissected by numerous winding waterways. The drainage system is dominated by South Big Creek and its many tributaries, such as Varvel Creek and South Big Creek, which create a complex network of riparian corridors across the agricultural fields. Smaller streams like Duck Creek and Turkey Creek further shape the topography in the south.

For those tracing local history, several established burial grounds are distributed across the township sections. Big Creek Cemetery sits in the northeast, while Fairhope Cemetery and Elk Creek Cemetery are located further south. Along 210th Road in the southeast corner, Siria Cemetery serves as another marker of the area's long-standing rural community. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of section lines and county roads, including 6th Road and 200th Road, that facilitates movement between these scattered landmarks.
