About this map

Salem Cem and the rural landscape southeast of Iola define this portion of Allen County, as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is structured by a strict section-line road grid, with routes such as Maryland Rd, Connecticut Rd, and California Rd cutting through the agricultural heartland. The local aviation footprint is marked by the presence of Croisant Airport, a private airfield situated among the fields.

Waterways like Coal Cr, Goose Cr, and the uniquely named Vegetarian Cr meander through the landscape, creating natural breaks in the geometric road network. These streams, including Big Cr and Slack Cr, represent the essential drainage and landmarks for the dispersed farmsteads of the region. The map captures the quiet persistence of these rural communities and the meticulous organization of Kansas prairie land.
