2009 Map of Hartford

About this map

The Neosho River meanders across this Lyon County landscape, defining the character of the river valley between Hartford and Neosho Rapids. The settlement pattern follows the fertile bottomlands and the path of State Hwy 130, which cuts diagonally toward the northwest. This 2009 survey captures the rural infrastructure of eastern Kansas, where several family and community burial sites are preserved, including Saint Marys Cemetery and the Hartford Cemetery south of the main town site. Tributaries such as Eagle Creek and Troublesome Creek feed into the Neosho, creating a complex network of waterways that has historically influenced agricultural boundaries and road placements like Gorman Rd and Angus Rd. At the eastern edge, Jacobs Creek flows near the Strawn Cemetery, marking the transition into neighboring drainage basins.
