About this map

The Marshall Co and Nemaha Co border bisects this section of northeastern Kansas, where a dense network of sectional roads and watercourses defines the agricultural landscape. The terrain is deeply etched by a system of creeks, including Pole Cr, Clear Cr, and Negro Cr, which flow through the rolling plains of the Dissected Till Plains region. These waterways converge and branch throughout the quadrangle, with Wildcat Cr and its N Fork marking the northern and southern reaches.

Local history is anchored by the Ash Point Cem, located near the center of the sheet along 184th Rd. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of rural routes such as Granite Rd, Bison Rd, and Baileyville Rd, reflecting the long-standing Public Land Survey System that partitioned this territory into townships and ranges. This layout shows a persistent pattern of land use where farmsteads and rural infrastructure remain tied to the original 19th-century survey lines.
