2015 Map of Onaga NE

About this map

Big Noxie Creek and Little Noxie Creek define the drainage of this prairie landscape along the border of Pottawatomie and Jackson counties. The map documents a rural agricultural region primarily structured by a precise grid of section roads like English Ridge Road and Fairview Road. Small local landmarks and points of interest for genealogists include Fairview Cemetery and the combined Bucks Grove Church Cemetery in the eastern hills. The presence of Riley Lakes in the northeast and numerous creek branches such as Spring Creek and Long Branch highlight the water-rich nature of these Kansas uplands. This survey reflects the persistence of traditional land divisions and the quiet continuity of rural life in the region.
