2018 Map of Nortonville

About this map

Nortonville sits at the intersection of several section-line roads on this northeastern Kansas landscape, straddling the border between Atchison Co and Jefferson Co. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as Main St, E Walnut St, and Railroad St, reflecting a layout typical of the region's agricultural hubs. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain sculpted by numerous small waterways, including Little Stranger Cr and Stranger Cr in the north and Crooked Cr and Hulls Br to the southeast. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, ranging from the Nortonville Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem near the town center to the outlying Pardee Cem and Hart Cem, providing a spatial record of early settlement and community development throughout the surrounding townships.
