About this map

The boundary between Bourbon and Crawford counties defines the southern half of this landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the drainage basins of Dry Wood Creek and Pawnee Creek. In the mid-1960s, the rural community of Hiattville served as a local hub along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad line. Further east, Pawnee Station sits near the headwaters of Richland Creek, illustrating the importance of rail access for these agricultural townships.

Infrastructure for recreation and conservation is centered in the southern portion of the quadrangle at Crawford County State Park No 2. This area features the significant waters of Farlington Lake and a dedicated Fish Hatchery, indicating a shift toward managed natural resources during this era. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Farlington Cem and the Fairview School, which mark the civic foundations of the Sherman and Pawnee districts.
