About this map

Big Sugar Creek and its many meandering tributaries define this portion of Linn County, where the agricultural grid is broken only by the winding paths of Coffeebean Creek and the forks of Little Sugar Creek. The small community of Critzer sits near the southern edge of the map, serving as a quiet focal point in a landscape otherwise dominated by section-line roads and family-named routes like Faucett Road and Ingrahm Road.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Centerville Cemetery and Wesley Chapel Cemetery, which provide physical links to the area's early residents. The eastern portion of the sheet shows the development of Lake Chaparral, a significant water feature and residential enclave near Turkey Creek, contrasting with the more traditional rural character of the surrounding Kansas prairie.
