2015 Map of Mayetta

About this map

Mayetta and Hoyt anchor this agricultural landscape in Jackson County, where the topography is defined by the headwaters of the Muddy Creek and Cedar Creek systems. The drainage patterns of W Fork Muddy Cr, E Fork Muddy Cr, and Middle Fork Muddy Cr create a series of north-south ridges that have historically dictated road placement and settlement. Genealogical interest is concentrated in several local burial grounds, including the Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem and the Mayetta Cem. The transportation corridor follows a traditional route along Rock Island Rd, reflecting the historical influence of the railroad on the development of these small Kansas towns. The map also captures several smaller landmarks like Cedar Grove Cem and South Cedar Cem, providing a detailed look at the rural cemetery locations that serve as vital records for local family history.
