About this map

Little Salt Marsh dominates the western landscape of this Reno County study, a significant hydrological feature in a region defined by its subtle drainage patterns. The marsh is fed and drained by a network of waterways including Rattlesnake Cr and the West Canal, while Horseshoe Lake sits just to the north near the Stafford County line. This area of central Kansas maintains a strictly gridded agricultural character, with long section-line roads like Salt Marsh Rd and Raymond Rd providing the primary framework for movement.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial sites that anchor the map's social history. The Hinshaw Family Cem, Peace Creek Cem, and Hayes Cem are preserved landmarks within the township grids of t22s r10w and t23s r10w. These small cemeteries and the winding path of Peace Cr offer a contrast to the industrial precision of the surrounding section lines and modern county roads.
