About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River meanders across the southern landscape of this Miami County region, anchoring a geography defined by its cemeteries and public institutions. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial grounds and medical history, notably the Osawatomie State Hospital Cem and the Miami County Poor Farm Cem, which speak to the social services of the era. To the north, Paola Lake and Bull Cr provide drainage for the rolling terrain surrounding the community of Ringer.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Miami County Airport and the Miami County Fairgrounds, indicates the area's role as a regional hub. Local recreation is well-represented by the Osawatomie Golf Course and the Mills House Recreational Vehicle Park. This survey provides researchers with a detailed look at the interface between the river valley and the developed outskirts of Paola and Osawatomie during the early 21st century.
