About this map

Mound City serves as the focal point of this Linn County landscape, where the confluence of several local waterways shaped the settlement patterns of eastern Kansas. The town is situated just south of where Little Sugar Cr meanders through the terrain, joined by tributaries such as Alexander Br. To the north, the village of Farlinville sits near the banks of Big Sugar Cr, highlighting the historical importance of these creek valleys for early residents.

Genealogical interest is particularly high given the numerous burial sites recorded, including the Mound City Cem and its adjacent Soldiers Lot, along with rural grounds like Linnville Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. The landscape transition is evident in the residential developments near Timber Lake and Lake De Lago in the western reaches, while the southeast corner features the Gilmore Airport and the headwaters of Mine Cr.
