2009 Map of Humboldt

About this map

The Humboldt townsite sits at a bend in the Neosho River, anchoring a landscape defined by a grid of named rural roads and numerous family and parish burial grounds. This 2009 survey highlights a concentration of historical sites including Saint Joseph Cemetery, Dewitt Cemetery, and the Evan Young Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research in this part of Allen County. The surrounding prairie is drained by a network of waterways with distinctive names such as Vegetarian Creek, Bloody Run, and Onion Creek. North of the main settlement, the Allen County Airport and a series of alphabetically and geographically named routes like Massachusetts Rd and Louisiana Rd define the modern infrastructure. The path of Old Hwy 169 runs parallel to the river, tracing the older transportation corridors that once linked these Kansas farmsteads.
