1998 Map of Kansas

About this map

The town of Kansas serves as the central hub for this late 20th-century survey of the Edgar and Coles county line. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of family and community landmarks, including the High Sch and Fairview Cem near the town center. The landscape is deeply carved by water, notably the North Fork Embarras River and the branching system of Donica Creek, including its east and west tributaries. This document provides exceptional detail for genealogists, recording numerous rural burial grounds such as Shields Cem, Wilhoit Cem, and Waite Cem. The transition from agrarian land to resource extraction is visible in the presence of an Oil Field tucked near the Coles Co Edgar Co border, while spiritual life is anchored by country parishes like Harmony Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch.
