About this map

Louisville stands at the heart of this landscape, situated near the confluence of Rock Cr and Vermillion Creek. The settlement's local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the centrally located Louisville Cem, as well as the Pleasant Hill Cem to the north and the Line Cem on the eastern boundary. The presence of the Old County Farm Cem suggests the historical location of a former poor farm or county institution, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians researching Pottawatomie County.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Brush Cr, Boxelder Cr, and Adams Cr carve through the countryside. A grid of rural roads—bearing family and descriptive names like Pioneer RD, Settlers RD, and Wagon Wheel RD—connects the agricultural plots. The southern edge of the map is marked by the low-lying Elm Slough, indicating a shift in the alluvial character of the land near the larger creek systems.
