About this map

Kincaid and Mildred anchor this corner of the Kansas plains, situated at a cross-county boundary where the southern edge of Anderson County meets Allen County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Osage River system, with the N Fork Little Osage River and Middle Fork Little Osage River cutting through the prairie terrain. These watercourses, along with smaller tributaries like Coal Cr and Deer Cr, dictate the rural road grid that connects these small agricultural hubs.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved here, including Kincaid Cem, Fairview Cem, Lone Elm Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. The settlement of Lone Elm sits to the west, while the southeastern corner is marked by Mildred Lake, a prominent water feature near the town of Mildred. The network of named routes, such as Wyoming Rd and West Virginia Rd, reflects the systematic surveying of this productive prairie region.
