2016 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose serves as the central hub of this north-central Kansas landscape, situated where local drainage systems begin their descent toward larger basins. The topography is defined by the branching reaches of Johns Cr and the eastern and western forks of Marsh Creek, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural uplands. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural environment maintained through a structured grid of county roads such as Randall Rd and S Ave, reflecting the enduring Public Land Survey System. Genealogical interest is anchored by several distinct burial sites, including Switzers Gap Cem to the north, Delta Cem near the township center, and Pleasant View Cem in the southern reaches. These locations, alongside waterways like W Marsh Cr and Spring Cr, provide essential landmarks for tracing family landholdings and the historical development of Jewell County.
