2009 Map of Soldier Creek SE

About this map

Mitchell Cemetery and Shipsee Cemetery anchor this rural Jackson County landscape, reflecting the long-established burial sites that persist within the township grid. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding South Branch Soldier Creek and Little Soldier Creek, which carve through the prairie. The 2009 survey illustrates a predominantly agrarian region where the section-line road system, including routes like 174 RD and 118 RD, dictates the modern geography. Significant tributaries such as Dutch Creek and Walnut Creek drain the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of numerous small ponds and catchment basins suggest the ongoing importance of water management for local agriculture and livestock in this part of Kansas.
