2015 Map of Kansas

About this map

Kansas and the surrounding farmland of Edgar County and Coles County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the slow winding of the N-Fork Embarras River. This 2015 study provides a high-resolution look at the agricultural heartland, where many small family-named cemeteries are the primary landmarks. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of the Shields Cem on the northern border, Harmony Cem near Warrington, and several others such as Waite Cem, Cornwell Cem, and Wilhoit Cem scattered across the township. The landscape is primarily shaped by the drainage patterns of several creeks, including E Donica Cr, W Donica Cr, and Polecat Cr, which cut through the rectilinear sections of the prairie and influence the path of local thoroughfares like E Charleston Rd.
