2018 Map of John Redmond Dam

About this map

The John Redmond Reservoir and the Neosho River valley dominate this landscape in Coffey County, showing the intersection of major water management and rural settlement. The northern reach of Burlington appears at the eastern edge, with a detailed street grid including Niagara St and Neosho St south of Rock Cr. The topography reveals how the reservoir, held by the John Redmond Dam, has reshaped the local drainage patterns of Buffalo Cr and Otter Cr. For family historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of small rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Bailey Cem in the north, Baker Cem near the center, and Teachout Cem and Cola Hill Cem further south. These sites, along with Calvary Cem near the town limits, provide essential anchors for tracing lineage in this part of Kansas.
