About this map

Graggs Chapel Cemetery stands as a focal point of local heritage in this rural Jefferson County landscape, situated near the intersection of 170th St and Cedar Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including North Cedar Creek and Cedar Creek, which drain the agricultural uplands. A strictly organized grid of section-line roads, such as Meriden Rd and Platte Rd, structures the territory, reflecting the long-established land divisions of the Kansas plains. Smaller tributaries like Tick Creek and Duck Creek create natural breaks in the rectangular fields, revealing the subtle topography that dictates drainage and farm placement. The map captures the area in its contemporary configuration, where historical rural landmarks remain embedded within the modern transportation network.
