About this map

New Strawn and the expansive Coffey County Lake anchor this landscape, reflecting the modern geography of the eastern Kansas plains. The layout of the lake dominates the southern portion of the map, while the northern sections reveal a traditional rural grid punctuated by the small settlements of Halls Summit and Sharpe. This 2012 survey illustrates how regional infrastructure, including the Coffey County Airport, has integrated into an area historically defined by agricultural townships.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several established burial sites, including Halls Summit Cem, Prairie View Cem, Glendale Cem, and Stringtown Cem. Waterways like School Cr, Wolf Cr, and Long Cr trace the natural drainage patterns of the terrain, crossing beneath a network of numbered rural roads that maintain the section-line organization of Coffey County. The map also includes local amenities such as the Indian Plains Golf Course and the central Po in New Strawn.
