About this map

The Spring River carves a significant path through the borderlands of Kansas and Oklahoma, defining the landscape of this 2018 survey. Anchored by the community of Baxter Springs in the northwest, the map documents a transition from the agricultural uplands of Jackson Prairie to the river valleys. The settlement of Peoria is positioned in the south-central portion of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for local history along with the nearby Peoria Cem.

A network of local roads such as E 50 RD and S 660 RD provides access to the smaller drainages of Fivemile Cr and Little Fivemile Cr. Notable landmarks like the Devils Promenade Bridge and the secluded Devils Hollow highlight the unique topography of the region. Genealogists will find the location of the Newman Cem particularly useful for tracing early families in the Five Mile area, while the boundary between Cherokee and Ottawa counties marks the intersection of state lines and historic land divisions.
