About this map

Herkimer anchors the southern portion of this northern Kansas landscape, where the prairie is deeply etched by the Big Blue River and its numerous tributaries. Settled within the township divisions of t2s r6e and t2s r7e, the area maintains a distinct rural character defined by a grid of named section roads such as Granite Rd and Harvest Rd. These roads provide access to local landmarks that reveal the community's heritage, including the Immanuel Cem near the town center and the Zion Cem situated further north.

The topography is characterized by the winding paths of Horseshoe Creek and Deer Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. Smaller settlements like Lone Elm appear along the northern reaches, while the terrain is further defined by watercourses such as Indian Cr and Meadow Cr. This map preserves the 21st-century configuration of Marshall County's agricultural heartland, capturing the precise locations of rural cemeteries and the enduring names of local waterways.
