About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River meanders across this Franklin County landscape, shaping the development and geography of the small settlements of Peoria and Imes. This 2018 survey illustrates a rural region defined by its watercourses, including Middle Cr and Ottawa Cr, and a dense grid of township roads such as Tennessee Rd and Texas Rd. The area maintains its agricultural character with scattered landmarks like the Highland Farm Airport and Harrod Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds like Peoria Cem and Fouts Cem, which serve as permanent markers of early family settlement. Modern recreation is represented by the Flint Hills Nature Trail, which utilizes a former rail corridor to cut a diagonal path across the section lines. The map captures the transition from traditional river-valley farming to contemporary land uses near the outskirts of Ottawa.
