About this map

St. John anchors the northwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, where the township grid meets the undulating terrain of the Great Bend Prairie. The map reveals a land defined by its agricultural legacy and small community hubs, featuring several historic burial grounds including Leesburg Cem, Prairie Chapel Cem, and Verning Cem. These sites, often located near section corners or along routes like Leesburg Rd, serve as focal points for local family history and genealogical research.

Transportation patterns are visible through the network of county roads and the presence of the Stafford Municipal Airport. Natural drainage follows the paths of Peace Cr and Dooleyville Cr, which wind through the township boundaries. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure in Stafford County, from the maintained section lines to the lingering traces of early settlements.
