2018 Map of Highland NW

About this map

Old Channel Big Nemaha River defines the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in northeast Kansas. The area is characterized by a dense grid of rural roads and the drainage patterns of several local waterways, including Noharts Cr, Roys Cr, and the curiously named Lost Shirt Cr. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the rural sections and township lines that have organized the region since its early settlement. For those researching family history or local land use, several historic burial grounds are preserved on the sheet, such as Laus Creek Cem in the northwest, Pleasant Hill Cem near the center, and Kenyon Cem to the east. The map reflects the enduring rural character of Brown County, where the road network follows strict section lines despite the meandering creek beds that break the terrain.
