About this map

The Rogue River meanders through this portion of Kent County, defining a landscape dotted with numerous glacial lakes and small aviation hubs. The village of Sparta serves as the central focal point, where the Sparta Post Office and residential streets like Ida Red Ave meet the surrounding agricultural lands. Notable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds, the area includes Greenwood Cemetery, Fairplains Cemetery, and Myers Cemetery, providing significant touchpoints for local genealogical research.

Transportation and recreation are prominent features, with Kent City positioned in the northwest and a variety of airstrips including Wilderness Airpark, Kozal Airfield, and the Sparta Airport serving the region. Water bodies such as Camp Lake, Indian Lakes, and the Olin Lakes cluster characterize the eastern half of the map. Rising above the low-lying drainage of Nash Creek and Ball Creek, Bettes Tower Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark in an area otherwise defined by its river valleys and wetlands.
