About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River winds through this section of Miami County, defining a landscape of agricultural plots and petroleum extraction. The Rantoul Oil Field and Wellsville Oil Field indicate the region's industrial heritage, while the small settlement of Rantoul serves as a local hub with its own Post Office.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the township, including Mannen Cem and New Hope Cem, alongside the small communities of Stanton and O'Brien. The map detail shows a dense grid of rural roads, such as Vermont Rd and Pressonville Rd, which connect these historic hamlets and family-named cemeteries. Natural features like Hickory Cr and Turkey Cr feed into the primary river system, shaping the drainage patterns and land use in this part of eastern Kansas.
