2009 Map of Mankato NW

About this map

Cleveland Cemetery and Shaffer Cemetery anchor this rural landscape in northern Jewell County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of southward-flowing tributaries. These small waterways, including Norway Creek, Korb Creek, and Oak Creek, drain into the larger White Rock Creek that winds across the southern portion of the map. The road system follows a strict section-line grid, typical of the Great Plains, with White Rock Rd serving as a primary east-west corridor through the countryside. This 2009 survey captures the area's agricultural character, preserved in its lack of concentrated town sites. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of isolated burial grounds like Olive Hill Cemetery, which stand as landmarks for family histories in this part of Kansas.
