About this map

Little Soldier Creek and South Branch Soldier Creek define the drainage patterns of this Jackson County landscape, where the terrain is marked by a network of rural roads such as 174th Road and 150th Road. The area is predominantly agricultural, characterized by the winding paths of James Creek and Dutch Creek that cut through the rolling topography of the Potawatomi Indian Reservation area.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered throughout the township boundaries, including Mitchell Cemetery in the north and Shipshee Cemetery further south. Near the eastern edge, Wah Go Cemetery sits close to Big Elm Creek, providing essential markers of the families who settled this part of Kansas. The map's grid-like road system, featuring routes like 142nd Road, contrasts with the organic flow of Walnut Creek, illustrating the intersection of human surveying and natural watercourses.
