2009 Map of Mantey

About this map

Mantey serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Linn County, where section-line roads define the movement of rural life. The settlement pattern is characterized by family burial grounds, including Shaw Cemetery and Curry Cemetery, which offer valuable data for genealogical research in this part of eastern Kansas. The terrain is deeply influenced by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Little Osage River and its tributaries, such as Elk Creek and Lost Creek, which snake through the grid of county roads like Lewis Rd and S Knapp Rd. While most of the area remains dominated by large tracts of farmland, the northern portion of the map shows modern residential development around Mine Creek, with clustered neighborhoods like those on Sunset Ln and Quail Ridge Rd introducing a suburban density to the traditionally agrarian landscape.
