About this map

Parker and the surrounding rural landscape of Linn County are defined by a grid of section roads and small creek valleys in this 2009 survey. The town of Parker sits at the intersection of Hedge St and E Main St, with the Parker City Dam located just to the southwest. This area preserves several localized burial grounds, including the Parker Cemetery, Goodrich Cemetery, and the Cadmus Cemetery further north, which often serve as the primary markers for historical crossroads communities.

Waterways like Middle Creek, Elm Creek, and North Sugar Creek wind through the township, influencing the placement of smaller settlements such as Cadmus, Goodrich, and Dunlay. The map reflects a classic Kansas agricultural pattern where homesteads are linked by a dense network of routes like W 2100th Rd and Keitel Rd, tracing the steady development of the prairie into a settled regional infrastructure.
