About this map

Kirkwood anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the street grid of North St and Walnut St meets the wide agricultural expanse of Warren County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses that have carved the prairie, including South Henderson Creek and its tributary, South Fork South Henderson Creek. These winding stream valleys create a natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding section lines and county roads.

Small agricultural hubs like Ponemah and Larchland sit along the corridors of the local road network, which includes family-named routes such as Raccoon Hollow Rd. For genealogists and local historians, Hickory Point Cem serves as a significant landmark in the central part of the quadrangle. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, where the drainage systems of Cedar Creek and Negro Creek influence the placement of farms and transit lines across the township.
