2022 Map of Ottawa South

About this map

Ottawa serves as the regional anchor on this survey, situated along the winding course of the Marais des Cygnes River. The town’s historical and institutional depth is evident through the inclusion of the Franklin County District Courthouse and the sprawling campus of Ottawa University. Beyond the street grid, the landscape transitions into the distinctive Chippewa Hills to the west and the Sand Hills to the south, reflecting a topography defined by significant tributaries like Appanoose Cr and Rock Cr. Genealogy researchers will find substantial value in the numerous burial grounds documented, ranging from the Munsee Indian Cem to Antioch Cem and Saint John's Cem. The presence of the B N Junction and the Ottawa Municipal Airport highlights the area's role as a local transportation hub for Franklin County.
