About this map

The Marais Des Cygnes River meanders sharply across this Franklin County landscape, shaping the development of the river valley near Pomona. The town itself is laid out on a traditional grid north of the river, while the surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of named section roads like Arkansas Rd and California Rd. These routes connect smaller outlying settlements including Richter, Ransomville, and Homewood, illustrating the late 20th-century rural infrastructure of eastern Kansas.

Key landmarks for local history and genealogy include the Woodlawn Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, along with several small tributaries such as Whisky Creek and Hard Fish Creek. In the eastern portion of the sheet, the Chippewa Hills rise above the river plain, situated near the Chippewa Ranch Airport and the Miller Dam. This 2009 survey records the transition of the region from its traditional agricultural roots toward modern transportation corridors, including the path of Old Hwy 50.
