2012 Map of Half Mound

About this map

The settlement of Half Mound serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County landscape, where the prairie is etched by a intricate network of creeks and rural roads. Flowing through the southwestern corner, the Delaware River receives drainage from local tributaries including Coal Cr, N Walnut Cr, and Walnut Cr. The area's genealogical history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Earnst Cem and Neill Cem. The rectilinear road grid, defined by routes like Chautauqua Rd and Half Mound Rd, illustrates the enduring structure of Kansas section-line surveying. Near the center of the quadrangle, Coal Creek Cem sits adjacent to Coal Creek Rd, marking a historic community center in this agricultural region.
