2012 Map of Oketo

About this map

The Big Blue River anchors the western edge of this Marshall County landscape, where the small settlement of Marietta sits just east of the river's winding course. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, with numerous tributaries such as N Elm Cr, Scotch Cr, and Bommer Cr carving through the agricultural sections. A post office Po serves the northern portion of the quadrangle near the intersection of Mill St and E St, while the local history of the area is preserved at Oketo Cem and N Elm Cem. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including Cherokee Rd and Frontier Rd, which facilitate movement between the various creek basins and small farmsteads that characterize this part of northern Kansas.
