About this map

Mantey serves as the central hub for this rural stretch of eastern Kansas, situated along the border of Linn and Bourbon Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Osage River in the south and its various tributaries, including Elk Creek, Lost Creek, and Clever Creek. The area's agricultural character is evidenced by the numerous local section roads, such as Newell Road and Paine Road, which facilitate travel between dispersed farmsteads and local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Shaw Cemetery near W 600th Road and the Curry Cemetery further south, providing a record of the families that settled this prairie region. Modern aviation infrastructure is represented by the Greg Post Farms Airport, tucked away in the southwestern portion of the map. The drainage patterns of W Laberdie Creek and other waterways illustrate the natural topography that shaped early land use and settlement throughout T22S and T23S.
