About this map

Wellington anchors the northeastern portion of this Sumner County landscape, situated just above the expansive waters of Wellington Lake. The terrain is defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of numerous waterways, including Prairie Creek, W Prairie Cr, and E Prairie Cr. This survey illustrates a quintessential Kansas agricultural layout, where small settlements like Perth and Corbin serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Union Chapel Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Chikaskia Cem. These sites, along with others like Wood Cem and Bethany Cem, provide a spatial record of early families in the region. The map also traces various smaller tributaries like Rodgers Br and Jordan Cr, which cut through the township sections.
