About this map

The Neosho River meanders across this Neosho County landscape, joined by numerous tributaries including Elk River, Canville Cr, and Ogeese Cr. The settlement of Shaw serves as a central landmark, situated near the Shaw Cem and the river's winding path. This 2022 survey documents a rural environment organized by a dense grid of township roads, such as Jackson Rd and Meade Rd, which provide access to family-named cemeteries and agricultural plots.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of South Valley Cem, Grant - Brown Cem, and Lakeview Cem, which anchor the local history of these prairie townships. To the west, the Koafm Airport represents a modern aviation node amidst the traditional farm sections. On the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the outskirts of Erie are visible, marking the transition from open river bottomlands to more developed areas.
