About this map

Glacial depressions and small prairie potholes define this landscape in McPherson County, where the township lines of T126N R71W and T126N R70W meet. The area is characterized by a sparse, grid-like road network and scattered wetlands typical of the Missouri Coteau region. Two historical religious landmarks, Salem Lutheran Cem and Congregational Cem, serve as the primary focal points for genealogical research, anchoring the rural community's history to specific family-named sections. The terrain is traversed by local routes such as Co 12 and 341st Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating prairie. This survey captures a moment in the modern era where the land use remains predominantly agricultural, shaped by the natural distribution of water and the rigid boundaries of the Public Land Survey System.
