2022 Map of Peabody NW

About this map

Dunkard Cem and Catlin Cem sit atop the prairie uplands of the Kansas Flint Hills region, marking the early settlement history of this agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses that drain the divide between the Marion and Harvey County line, including the headwaters of Antelope Cr and Doyle Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring section-line road grid that has structured life here for generations, with routes like Mustang Rd and Indigo Rd providing access to isolated farmsteads and burial grounds such as the Doyle Valley Cem. The map reveals how the subtle topography dictates the flow of several tributaries, including Spring Cr and the W Br Whitewater Cr, creating a landscape where water and road networks are the primary markers of human presence.
