About this map

Independence serves as the focal point of this 2015 survey, situated near the confluence of local waterways like Rock Cr and the winding Verdigris River. The city’s residential grid is clearly defined by named thoroughfares such as W Main St and W Myrtle St, which transition into a network of rural county roads. Just south of the main settlement lies the community of Fruitland, adjacent to the campus of Independence Community Coll.

Genealogists will find a concentration of local history within several burial grounds, including Mount Hope Cem, Calvary Cem, and the Pratt Cem located to the northeast. Beyond the urban center, the landscape is shaped by significant water bodies such as Montgomery County State Lake and the crossing at McTaggart Bridge, illustrating the region's reliance on its river and creek systems for recreation and connectivity.
