2023 Map of Melrose
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Melrose and Keelville anchor this section of Cherokee County, Kansas, where a strictly gridded road network meets the meandering drainage of the Neosho River basin. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of Fly Creek, Little Fly Creek, and Potato Creek, which cut through the agricultural sections. For those researching local families, several small burial grounds are preserved among the fields, including the Johnson Family Cem, Fly Creek Cem, and Newton Moore Cem. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of township-and-range surveying with the natural watercourses that shaped early settlement patterns. Thoroughfare names such as SW Boston Mills Rd and SW Union Chapel Rd reflect the community's historical connection to early rural industry and religious life.
