Hickory Cr and Murphy Cr drain this section of Crawford County, where the landscape is defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and scattered homesteads. The southwestern corner of the quadrangle is marked by the presence of the Neosho River, which feeds into Halfmoon Lake and the smaller Little Halfmoon Lake. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer roots, evidenced by the preservation of several small burial grounds including Valley City Cem and Richland Cem. The rectilinear road network, consisting of routes like Xavier Rd and W 570th Ave, reflects the systematic land division that organized the Kansas prairie for agricultural development. These cemeteries, such as Frogge Cem and Dumbauld Cem, serve as primary genealogical anchors for families who settled these sections.
