2015 Map of Soldier Creek SW

About this map

Soldier Creek and its many tributaries, including the South Branch Soldier Creek and Crow Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Jackson County landscape. The area is characterized by a grid of rural section-line roads, such as 150th Road and 118th Road, that navigate the undulating terrain between creek valleys. This network of roads connects several small local burial grounds, which serve as primary landmarks for genealogical research in this part of Kansas. These sites, including Little Cross Creek Cemetery in the north and Delia Cemetery near the southern border, are often situated on higher ground overlooking the surrounding watercourses like Little Cross Creek and Sullivan Creek. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that organized these farmsteads and rural properties into the 21st century.
