About this map

Vermillion Cr winds through this section of Pottawatomie County, where the historic path of the Oregon Trail Rd remains a visible marker of westward migration. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the Vieux Cem stands as a quiet witness to the families and travelers who passed through this corridor. The small settlement of Laclede serves as a local hub, surrounded by a network of drainage systems including Pomeroy Cr, Polly Cr, and Lost Cr.

Family and local history are etched into the landscape via named thoroughfares like Tannerville Rd, Pauling Run Rd, and Indian Village Rd. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds, including Laclede Cem and Polly Creek Cem, which anchor the rural community to its 19th-century roots. The map illustrates a landscape where modern section lines and rural roads respect the ancient meandering of the creeks.
