2017 Map of Jansen

About this map

Jansen serves as the central hub of this Jefferson County landscape, situated where the grid of rural roads meets the diagonal passage of the railroad. The town is flanked by the Jansen Cem and Bartel Cem, providing clear points of interest for genealogists tracking local families. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system, featuring numerous engineered basins such as Cub Creek Reservoir 14-A, Cub Creek Reservoir 13-D, and Big Indian Creek Reservoir 10-A. These reservoirs, distributed across the drainage basins of Cub Cr and Big Indian Cr, illustrate the modern agricultural character of the region. The landscape is further dissected by smaller tributaries like Elm Cr and Smith Cr, which wind through the section lines of the township and range survey system.
