2015 Map of Napton

About this map

Napton and Wilton Springs occupy the heart of this Saline County landscape, where the northern plains meet the meandering valley of the Blackwater River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Salt Fork, Brush Cr, and Dicks Br, which carve into the agricultural plateaus. For those tracing regional history, the presence of Salt Branch Springs recalls the era of mineral springs and early settlement resource hubs. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Saline Co Cooper Co border near the town of Nelson, illustrating the rural road network and township divisions like t49n r20w. Family history researchers can find specific landmarks such as Sappington Cemetery and Marshall Cemetery, which remain anchored in a landscape of section lines and named trails like Mallard Trl and 184th Trl.
