About this map

Elk Creek and Banner Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this rural Jackson County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of numbered and lettered roads such as J Road and 246th Road. The western edge of the town of Holton is visible on the eastern margin, anchored by the Holton Cemetery. This survey shows the transition from the structured residential blocks near West 6th Street and Montana Avenue to the open fields and meandering creek beds of the surrounding prairie.

Genealogists will find the location of the Hass Cemetery particularly significant, situated along M Road north of its junction with 222nd Road. The map tracks the southern reaches of the county through the paths of Little Soldier Creek and Bills Creek, illustrating how these watercourses dictate the placement of smaller residential drives like Timber Ridge Drive amidst the larger sectional divisions.
