About this map

Kingsville serves as the northern anchor for this rural landscape in Johnson County, defined by a dense network of country roads and family cemeteries. Small rural communities like Medford and Latour are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the agrarian settlement patterns of the region. The landscape is deeply carved by water systems, including the southward-flowing Big Creek and its many tributaries like East Lost Creek and Coon Creek. These waterways, along with features like Rock Island Lake, dictate the placement of local homesteads and transportation routes.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, such as Duncan Cemetery, Gilbert Cemetery, and Rose Hill Cemetery, which mark the history of early families in the area. Further south, the Olive Hill Post Office and Rose Hill highlight the historic local nodes that supported this farming community, while the Fender J H Airport provides a modern contrast to the established patterns of East Pin Oak Creek and West Pin Oak Creek.
