2021 Map of Kansas

About this map

Kansas anchors this rural landscape at the border of Coles and Edgar counties, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The village street grid is clearly defined by Jefferson St and Illinois St, which lead away from the central Po. A remarkable density of family and community burial grounds, such as Shields Cem, Harmony Cem, and Wilhoit Cem, are scattered across the township, providing a detailed record of early settlement patterns and genealogical history. The terrain is drained by several watercourses including Polecat Cr and the N Fork Embarras River. The map's layout of rural roads, such as Coach Rd and E Charleston Rd, reflects the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System, which continues to shape the movement and land divisions of this Illinois prairie region.
