2009 Map of Miller

About this map

The small community of Wilmington and the rural center of Miller anchor this landscape in Osage and Wabaunsee Counties. Situated near the historic path of the Santa Fe Trail, this area is defined by a dendritic network of prairie waterways, including Dragoon Creek, Soldier Creek, and Salt Creek, which carve through the agricultural grid. Local lineage is preserved at Wilmington Cemetery and Rapp Cemetery, providing essential points of reference for genealogical researchers. The map also documents the transition from traditional farming to specialized aviation uses, as seen at Dickson Airport and J V Ranch Airport. A dense network of section-line roads, such as Wilmington Rd and S Valencia Rd, connects these scattered settlements and homesteads across the rolling terrain of the Flint Hills region.
