About this map

Ocheltree and its surrounding Johnson County landscape appear in high detail during the early 1990s, caught between established agriculture and the expanding urban footprint of Olathe. The map documents a corridor of small settlements along the rail lines and highways, including Clare, Bonita, and Spring Hill. Water resources are prominent features of the terrain, with the bifurcated Olathe Lake and the larger New Olathe Lake situated along Cedar Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Calvary Cem and various Athletic Fields that served these communities. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Wolf Creek, Indian Creek, and Coffee Creek, while a Weigh Station and a localized Pit provide evidence of the era's transport and industrial activity. This survey offers a precise look at the township boundaries of Gardner, Aubry, and Oxford at the moment they were transitioning toward modern development.
