About this map

Sportsmans Lake and the drainage network of Marsh Cr dominate the topography where Republic and Cloud Counties meet. This agricultural landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Buffalo Cr and Dry Cr in the south and the winding paths of E Marsh Cr and W Marsh Cr to the north. These creeks reflect the traditional land use patterns of north-central Kansas, with section-line roads like K RD and L RD framing the countryside.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important landmarks preserved on this sheet. The Lutheran Cem and Caldwell Cem mark early community centers, while the Mc Collough Airfield represents a more modern addition to the rural infrastructure. The map also traces the boundary between Jewell, Republic, and Cloud Counties, illustrating how these administrative lines follow the township and range system through the undulating terrain near Saint Johns Cr.
