About this map

Chautauqua Hills define the rolling landscape of this region, where the town of Peru and the village of Niotaze sit along the central corridor. The terrain is deeply marked by a network of drainage systems, including the Little Caney River and Middle Caney Creek, which wind through the township boundaries of T34S and T35S. This 2022 survey captures a rural landscape still anchored by its historic cemeteries and small-scale road network.

Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Alford Cem in the north and Elcado Cem to the south. These sites, along with family-named roads like Boone Hill Dr and Dalton Rd, provide clear markers for genealogical research and land-use studies. The map reflects a quiet pocket of Kansas where the original section-line grids interact with the natural curves of Birch Cr and Possum Trot Cr.
