About this map

Girard serves as the primary urban center in the northwest corner of this Southeast Kansas landscape, situated where the open plains meet the winding tributaries of the Neosho river basin. The map captures a transition between the established township at Girard and the smaller, unincorporated communities of Beulah and Filler to the south. The terrain is deeply influenced by the drainage patterns of Thunderbolt Cr and Limestone Cr, which carve through the grid of county roads.

In the eastern portion of the survey, the settlements of Radley and South Radley represent the local coal-mining history of Crawford County, even as the landscape has evolved into contemporary agriculture. Genealogists can locate legacy sites such as Beulah Cem and West Union Cem, which remain as physical markers of the families who settled this prairie region. The intricate network of section-line roads, including Gooding Rd and Rockport Rd, illustrates the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System across the rural Kansas interior.
