About this map

Paola and Osawatomie anchor this Miami County landscape, where the confluence of regional transit and water management defines the local geography. The winding Marais des Cygnes River flows along the southern edge of the survey, shaped by infrastructure like the Osawatomie City Dam. Between these primary settlements, the small community of Ringer and the Osawatomie-Paola Municipal Airport occupy the level ground between the hills.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including the Osawatomie Cemetery, Elmdale Cemetery, and Indianapolis Cemetery near the riverbanks. The township layout is marked by a network of rural roads such as Hunter Rd and Bethel Church Rd, which intersect numerous tributaries like Turkey Creek, Plum Creek, and McFadden Branch. The map also highlights industrial and utility features, notably the Paola City Dam on Bull Creek and the private Majeski Airport.
