About this map

White Rock Creek and its many winding tributaries define the rolling agricultural landscape of northern Jewell County. This modern U.S. Geological Survey topographic study documents the rural character of the region, where family and community heritage is preserved at sites like Shaffer Cem, Cleveland Cem, and Olive Hill Cem. The land is deeply carved by drainage systems including Korb Creek, Norway Cr, and Taylor Cr, which flow through the sectioned fields. Transport in this portion of Kansas remains centered on a grid of rural routes such as White Rock Rd and X Rd, following the established Public Land Survey System boundaries that have organized this prairie landscape for generations.
