2009 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose serves as the primary settlement hub in this rural Jewell County landscape, situated where local roads converge in the northern Kansas plains. The area is defined by its agricultural character and a network of drainage systems, including Johns Creek, Spring Creek, and the meeting of East Marsh Creek and West Marsh Creek. This 2009 USGS survey records the enduring placement of community landmarks, particularly its historical burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can find the locations of Switzers Gap Cemetery, Delta Cemetery, and Pleasant View Cemetery, which are spaced across the township's sections. The map illustrates the contemporary road grid and land divisions that have structured this region since its early settlement, providing a precise spatial record of the township's layout.
