2016 Map of Soldier Creek SE

About this map

Mitchell Cem and Shipsee Cem stand as quiet landmarks within this rural Kansas landscape, documenting the ancestral history of Jackson County. This section of the Great Plains is defined by a dense network of drainage, where headwaters and tributaries feed into larger systems. The terrain is carved by the Little Soldier Cr and the S Br Soldier Cr in the northern reaches, while the southern portion is marked by the winding paths of Walnut Cr and Dutch Cr. The surveyor's grid is preserved through a series of named section roads, such as 174th Rd and 142nd Rd, which provide access to the dispersed farmsteads and agricultural plots that characterize the region's mid-2010s geography. The presence of smaller waterways like James Cr and Big Elm Cr suggests a complex local topography of ridges and draws.
