2011 Map of Pawnee

About this map

Pawnee and the northern settlement of Bloomington anchor this rural landscape in a region defined by its branching drainage networks. The terrain is deeply inscribed by the southward flow of Wolf Creek, which meanders through the center of the sheet, and the headwaters of Little Creek in the southwest. For genealogists and local historians, the distribution of burial grounds across the countryside reveals the long-standing family foundations of the area, including Mount Zion Cemetery, Patrick Cemetery, and Hollen Cemetery. A grid of county roads and local avenues, such as Co HWY-j55 and Co HWY-j67, connects these small communities and rural sites, providing a clear view of the twentieth-century transportation infrastructure that still serves this agricultural pocket on the Missouri-Iowa border.
