2016 Map of Piqua

About this map

Neosho Falls and Piqua anchor this Kansas landscape, where the Neosho River snakes through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The area's agricultural identity is reflected in a grid of section roads with regional naming conventions like Pennsylvania Rd and Minnesota Rd. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds including Saint Martins Cem near Piqua, Iola Township Cem on the border of Woodson Co and Allen Co, and Schaefer Cem to the southwest. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Rock Cr, Plum Cr, and Onion Cr, which dictate the local topography. This document provides a look at the rural intersections and named settlements such as Athens that persist in this corner of southeastern Kansas.
