About this map

Morehead sits at the intersection of four counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by agricultural section lines and an intricate network of drainages. The local geography is shaped by Little Chetopa Cr and Chetopa Cr, which wind through the northern sections, while Drum Cr and Salt Cr carve the southern reaches. This modern survey shows the convergence of Wilson, Neosho, Labette, and Montgomery counties, providing a precise record of the political boundaries that bisect the small settlements of Morehead and Brooks.

For those researching family history, the map preserves the locations of vital community landmarks. Plainfield Cem and Star Cem are clearly marked amidst the grid of country roads like Thomas Rd and Wichita Rd. The settlement of Thayer appears in the northeast corner, illustrating the persistent footprint of these small Kansas towns in the early 21st century. The density of named branches, such as Washington Br and Dry Creek, highlights the importance of water management in this prairie environment.
