2012 Map of Hayrick Mound

About this map

Hayrick Mound rises as the most prominent geological landmark on this landscape, situated near the modern border of Labette County in Kansas and extending toward Oklahoma. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Rock Cr and Brush Cr in the northern reaches, while the south is drained by Big Cr and its tributary, E Fork Big Cr. This map documents the rural character of the area in the early 21st century, showing a grid of section-line roads such as n4270 RD and e0040 RD. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of small, rural burial grounds like Lain Cem and Plainview Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this agricultural region. The drainage patterns of Crow Hollow Cr and Tucker Cr further illustrate the natural hydrology that shaped local land use and farm placement.
