About this map

Sherwin and Hallowell are focal points of this southeastern Kansas landscape, where a grid of section-line roads structures the agricultural plains of Cherokee County. The map details a rural geography defined by family and local history, as evidenced by several burial grounds including LaRue Cem, Edgmand Cem, and Dove Cem. Waterways like Cherry Cr, Little Cherry Cr, and Center Cr meander through the farmland, their natural paths often contrasting with the rigid geometry of roads like NW Belleview Rd and SW Hallowell Rd.

A notable industrial feature is the M L W A 23 railroad line, which cuts across the terrain to serve the small settlements. Further north, the community of Cokedale sits near the upper margin, while Cherokee Plains marks the central portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the quiet density of a modern farming district, preserving the locations of rural school sites and homesteads often tied to Spicklemire Rd and Spicklemire Cem.
