2009 Map of New Strawn

About this map

New Strawn and the surrounding prairie of Coffey County are defined by a strictly surveyed grid of section roads and the meandering courses of Wolf Creek and Long Creek. Located at the intersection of US Hwy 75 and the 17th Road corridor, this area includes the rural settlements of Sharpe and Halls Summit. The landscape is dotted with small farm ponds and local burial grounds that reflect the long-standing community structure of the region, including Halls Summit Cemetery, Prairie View Cemetery, and Glendale Cemetery. Farther south, near the modern street layouts of New Strawn, the Stringtown Cemetery preserves a link to earlier pioneer history. The map illustrates a transitional rural landscape where traditional homesteads and creek-bottom timber meet the expanding infrastructure of the early 21st century.
