2010 Map of Hallowell

About this map

Sherwin and Hallowell anchor this section of the Cherokee Plains in southeastern Kansas. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the winding paths of several waterways, including Center Creek, Cherry Creek, and Little Cherry Creek. Traces of the region's agricultural and mining history are evident in the scattered settlements and small burial grounds that dot the sections. Local genealogy is well-represented through family and community landmarks such as LaRue Cemetery, Edgmand Cemetery, Spickelmire Cemetery, and Dove Cemetery. In the northern portion of the map, the small settlement of Cokedale sits near the headwaters of Denny Branch, highlighting the localized naming conventions of the era. The organized network of thoroughfares like NW Belleview Rd and SW Cheneyville Rd illustrates the long-established township-and-range surveying system that persists in this prairie environment.
