About this map

The Marmaton River and its complex network of tributaries define this rural landscape along the boundary of Allen and Bourbon counties. This modern topographic survey reveals a terrain deeply dissected by drainages like Wolfpen Creek, Schubert Cr, and Tennyson Cr, which create the undulating topography characteristic of eastern Kansas. While largely dominated by agricultural tracts and a geometric grid of rural roads, the map preserves significant local markers like Hatch Cem in the northeastern quadrant.

The layout of the road network, including uniquely named routes such as Maryland Rd, Florida Rd, and Hawaii Rd, illustrates the systematic partitioning of the land. Smaller watercourses like Jackie Br Marmaton River and Canville Cr further emphasize the importance of natural drainage to the local geography. This survey provides a precise accounting of the interface between the persistent river valley and the developed township boundaries.
