2009 Map of Neosho Falls

About this map

Neosho Falls sits along a prominent bend in the Neosho River, where the waterway creates a distinctive landform known as The Island. This Woodson County landscape is defined by the winding paths of several tributaries, including Crooked Creek, Twiss Creek, and Spring Creek, which dissect the rural grid of country roads. For those researching local families and genealogy, several burial grounds are preserved across the area, from the Stoeltzing Cemetery in the north to the Cedarvale Cemetery south of the primary settlement. The map illustrates the 2009 road network, where local routes like Tadpole Rd and Shetland Rd connect the scattered farms and homesteads that have long characterized this part of eastern Kansas. The confluence of these multiple creeks into the larger river basin highlights the importance of the Neosho drainage system to the region's agricultural layout.
