2012 Map of Shaw

About this map

The Neosho River meanders through this portion of Neosho County, shaping the landscape near the small settlement of Shaw. This 2012 survey illustrates a predominantly agricultural region defined by a grid of rural roads and the riparian corridors of several tributaries, including Canville Cr and the Elk River. For those researching family history in the area, the map precisely locates four distinct burial grounds: S Valley Cem in the north, Shaw Cem near the river bend, Grant - Brown Cem further south, and Lakeview Cem near the eastern boundary. The presence of these cemeteries alongside numerous rural homesteads provides a clear view of the long-standing land ownership patterns and community hubs in this Kansas river valley.
