2015 Map of Owaneco

About this map

Agricultural lands in Christian County define this landscape, where the village of Owaneco sits at the intersection of a diagonal rail corridor and a rigid section-line road grid. The drainage patterns of the prairie are visible through the winding paths of Locust Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which feed into the southeast corner of Taylorville Lake. Small rural communities like Millersville and Rosamond serve as anchors for the surrounding farmsteads, connected by a network of gravel and paved routes such as N 1600 East Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including the Donner Cem near the lakeshore and the centrally located Durbin Cem. Further south, the presence of the Potters Field Cem and Millersville Cem provides a clear record of the area's established social and community history.
