2012 Map of Neutral

About this map

Neutral and the surrounding Cherokee County landscape are defined by a regular grid of section roads and small watercourses like Willow Cr and Bitter Cr. The area around Cravensville and Captain reflects the enduring agricultural and rural layout of southeastern Kansas, where family and community heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Beasley Cem, Usrey Cem, and Pleasant View Cem. The southern portion of the sheet features the prominent Blue Mound and the Walter A Swalley Airpark, while the northern edge is marked by Brush Cr as it winds toward the Brush Creek Cem. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from open farmland to the outskirts of more established settlements, providing a clear record of land use and local geography in the early 21st century.
