2015 Map of Soldier Creek NW

About this map

Soldier Creek meanders through the heart of this Jackson County landscape, carving a valley defined by the distinctive Oak Mills Bend. The terrain is strictly partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, with the boundaries of t6s r13e and t7s r13e organizing the rural layout. A network of section-line roads, including 246th Rd and 182nd Rd, provides the structure for local transit between family holdings and agricultural plots. Genealogists will find interest in the preserved locations of Olive Hill Cemetery and Boan Cemetery, which serve as quiet landmarks of the area's long-standing community roots. To the southwest, the smaller Little Cross Creek joins the drainage system, illustrating the natural water management that has shaped farming in this part of Kansas for generations.
