2015 Map of Half Mound

About this map

Half Mound and the surrounding farmland of Jefferson and Atchison counties are defined by a high-density network of section-line roads and winding creek valleys. The landscape is bisected by the Delaware River in the southwest and drained by several prominent waterways, including Coal Cr and N Walnut Cr. This survey illustrates a rural Kansas interior where the local topography dictated the placement of small community hubs and cemeteries. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved here, such as Coal Creek Cem and Neill Cem, alongside the Pleasant Grove Cem in the northeast. The land is organized into a grid of rural routes like Andy White Rd and ChautAUQUA Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and local landmarks like Earnst to the regional geography.
