About this map

The agricultural landscape south of Wellington is defined by the steady convergence of prairie creeks and the established grid of the Public Land Survey System. The southern reaches of Wellington Lake dominate the northeastern portion of this survey, while the small settlements of Perth and Corbin serve as local anchors along the eastern and southern edges. These communities are linked by a systematic network of section-line roads, such as S Chicaskia Rd and S Sumner Rd, that navigate the drainage basins of W Prairie Cr, E Prairie Cr, and Rodgers Br.

For family historians, this map is particularly valuable for its documentation of rural burial sites distributed across several townships. Numerous small cemeteries, including Wood Cem, Union Chapel Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem, are preserved here, often located near the headwaters of seasonal streams like Jordan Cr or Long Cr. The map captures the enduring rural character of Sumner County, where traditional land divisions and small-town footprints remain largely intact.
