About this map

Big Sandy Creek meanders through the northwest corner of this high plains landscape, accompanied by the diagonal path of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including North Rush Creek and Willow Creek, which break up the prairie into rolling divides. While large settlements are absent, the map documents the religious and social centers of the rural community, such as the Pleasant Plains Community Ch and its associated cemetery.
