About this map

Nineveh serves as a central hub for this portion of Johnson County, situated where the landscape transitions into a series of residential lake communities. The area is defined by an intricate network of man-made water bodies, including the concentrated clusters of Princes Lakes and the larger expanses of Sweetwater Lake and Cordry Lake. A notable historical site is the Prisoner of War Camp located along Nineveh Creek, providing a specific geographic anchor for 20th-century history.

Genealogists and local historians can find several burial sites such as Anderson Cemetery, Mount Moriah Cemetery, and Kansas Cemetery, which sits near the small settlement of Kansas. The terrain is marked by gentle elevations like Renner Hill and a drainage system composed of Prince Creek, Mud Creek, and Lick Creek. This map illustrates the 2010 development patterns of a region that balances rural agricultural tracts with sprawling lakefront residential subdivisions.
