About this map

The John Redmond Dam and its corresponding John Redmond Reservoir dominate the northern landscape of this Coffey County region, where the Neosho River was harnessed for flood control and water management. To the east, the city of Burlington is mapped in detail, showing a clear grid of residential streets such as Hudson St, Mohawk St, and Housatonic St situated just downstream of the impoundment.

Away from the water, the terrain is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and small rural burial grounds. Genealogists can find several family and community landmarks, including Bailey Cem near the northern reservoir shoreline, Baker Cem on 12th Rd, and the Teachout Cem further south. Tributaries like Buffalo Cr, Rock Cr, and N Big Cr provide the primary drainage for the agricultural lands surrounding the central infrastructure of the dam.
