About this map

Shields Cemetery sits at the center of this Clay County landscape, where the rural grid of the early 21st century overlays a terrain defined by distinctive upland features. The small settlement of Idana occupies the northeast corner, while Browndale is situated further west, connected by an extensive network of range roads including Meridian Rd and 17th Rd.

Surface drainage across the quadrangle follows the paths of Five Mile Creek and Chapman Creek, which carve through the plains. The topography is punctuated by prominent rises such as Tobyne Hill, Potato Hill, and the Table Mounds. These landmarks provide orientation in a region dominated by agricultural surveying, with namesake routes like Frontier Rd and Cherokee Rd marking the section lines of the Kansas prairie.
