2022 Map of John Redmond Dam

About this map

Burlington anchors the eastern edge of this Coffey County survey, where a tight grid of streets like W Kennebec St and Niagara St meets the industrial corridor of the Jrr. This landscape is dominated by the vast waters of the John Redmond Reservoir, held back by the prominent structure at Embankment Rd. The surrounding terrain transitions into the agricultural plains of eastern Kansas, defined by a network of rural section roads and small drainages including Buffalo Cr, Otter Creek, and Rock Cr. For those tracing local heritage, several family and community burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, such as Bailey Cem, Baker Cem, and Teachout Cem. These sites, along with Cola Hill Cem and Calvary Cem, provide fixed points of reference in a landscape that has seen significant change since the mid-20th-century reservoir construction altered the traditional flow of local tributaries.
