2009 Map of Jewell SW

About this map

Mulberry Creek and its various tributaries, including Dog Creek and Plum Creek, carve a branching drainage pattern across this northern Kansas landscape. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a rural section of Mitchell County defined by a precise section-line road grid and scattered local landmarks. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds positioned along these upland ridges and creek bends, including Fairview Cemetery in the north and west, Glendale Cemetery near the center, and Star Cemetery to the east. The terrain is marked by the subtle shift from the banks of Browns Creek to the higher plains, illustrating the agricultural layout and sparse settlement typical of the region during the early twenty-first century.
