2018 Map of Neutral

About this map

Neutral and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Cherokee County appear here in a period of transition, where established rural routes like SW Boston Mills Rd and SE Quaker Rd define a grid-like settlement pattern. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the northern reaches of the City of Treece and the outskirts of Baxter Springs. A significant concentration of local history is preserved in the numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Baxter Springs City Cem Soldiers' Lot and the Pleasant View Cem. The terrain is characterized by gentle shifts in elevation near Blue Mound and the winding paths of Willow Cr and Bitter Cr. Aviation history is represented by the Walter A Swalley Airpark, while smaller hamlets like Cravensville remain distinct markers of the area's development.
