The Neosho River meanders through this portion of Crawford County, defining the western landscape while a network of rural roads and creek systems like Lightning Cr and Litup Cr stretch across the interior. The town of McCune (implied by its namesake features) and smaller settlements such as Strauss and Sherman serve as local hubs, connected by an organized grid of thoroughfares including Massey Rd and NW Coal Valley Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably punctuated by several burial grounds, including McCune Cem, Harley Cem, and Sherman Cem, which anchor the small communities to their late-nineteenth and twentieth-century roots. The presence of Montana in the southwest and the winding Stink Br further characterize this agricultural and river-adjacent landscape as it appeared in the early 2010s.
