2012 Map of Soldier Creek SW

About this map

The rolling plains of Jackson County are defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Soldier Cr and its tributary S Br Soldier Cr, which wind through a landscape largely organized by a rectilinear grid of rural roads. This 2012 survey illustrates the deep roots of the local community through its scattered burial grounds, such as Little Cross Creek Cem in the north and Delia Cem to the south. These landmarks, along with the Adrian Cem and Danceground Cem, serve as critical points of reference for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Kansas. The map captures the hydrological character of the region, where numerous small streams like Crow Cr, Sullivan Cr, and Illinois Cr provide natural drainage across the agricultural terrain, intersecting with numbered thoroughfares like 150th Rd and 118th Rd.
