2018 Map of Middletown

About this map

The Verdigris River meanders through this portion of southeast Kansas, marking the transition between the agricultural uplands and the river valley. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, with Sandy Creek, Walnut Cr, and Snake Cr feeding into the main river channel. Settlements like Middletown and Benedict anchor the local road grid, which follows section lines across the Wilson and Woodson county border. For those researching local history, several family-named and community landmarks are clearly visible, including Leeper Bridge and Moss Bridge crossing the river. The distribution of rural burial grounds, such as Little Sandy Cem, Farmington Cem, and Maple Grove Cem, provides a map of early settlement patterns and family heritage in this prairie region.
