About this map

Yates Center and the smaller settlement of Rose anchor this portion of Woodson County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the S Owl Cr and the drainage of Bloody Run. The geography here transitions between agricultural sections and unique geological formations, most notably the Rose Dome, a significant topographic and geological feature in the central portion of the map.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Pleasant Valley Cem and Kalla Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the strictly gridded road system. The Yates Center Reservoir provides a primary water source at the northwestern edge of the map, while the surrounding area is intersected by a network of rural routes including Prairie Rd, Osage Rd, and the north-south corridor of Hwy 75. The terrain is further characterized by the meandering paths of E Buffalo Cr and Owl Cr, which cut through the established section lines.
