2018 Map of Soldier Creek NW

About this map

Soldier Cr and its tributary Little Cross Cr carve through the agricultural landscape of Jackson County, shaping the rural development of this region. The 2018 survey reveals a landscape organized by a precise grid of section lines and range boundaries, including t7s r13e and t7s r14e, where long-established family names are preserved in the geography. Distinctive landmarks such as the Oak-Mills- Bend along the creek bank highlight localized naming traditions that persist even as the surrounding terrain remains primarily pastoral. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites, specifically Olive Hill-Cem and Boan Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early families and pioneer history in this corner of Kansas.
