About this map

White Rock and Warwick anchor this corner of north-central Kansas, where the northern plains are carved by a dense network of watercourses. The Republican River meanders across the northern border, joined by the southeastward flow of Forsha Creek. This agricultural landscape is meticulously organized by a grid of county roads, including Co RD 1 and Co RD D, which connect isolated homesteads to local centers of community.

For those tracing family roots in Jewell County, the map provides precise locations for three distinct burial grounds: Rose Mound Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and White Rock Cemetery. These sites are positioned near the various drainages that define the local topography, such as White Rock Creek, Bean Creek, and Spring Creek. The survey reflects a region defined by its reliance on these waterways and a strictly maintained system of rural transport.
