About this map

The northern border of Jefferson County meets Marion County in this landscape defined by small rural hubs and a high concentration of local burial grounds. The settlement of Kell sits at the northern edge, while Texico and the community of Idlewood anchor the central and southern portions of the map. These small clusters of residency are surrounded by a dense network of country roads, including E 2300 N Rd and Walnut Hill Rd, which serve the agricultural plots between the creek basins.

Genealogists will find a remarkable density of family and community history recorded in the numerous cemeteries throughout the area. From the Old Covenanter Cem in the northwest to the Jennings Farm Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem further south, these sites indicate long-standing family land holdings. Water features such as Limestone Cr, Lake Normandy, and Miller Lake provide the primary geographic relief across the prairie terrain.
