About this map

Kimball sits near the eastern edge of this Neosho County landscape, a small settlement defined by its proximity to the north-south Railroad and a network of strictly gridded section roads. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, most notably Canville Cr and Little Canville Cr, which wind through the prairie to meet Fourmile Cr in the south. These waterways dictated early land use, as seen in the placement of numerous rural burying grounds away from the floodplains.

Genealogists will find interest in the distinct cultural markers across the townships, such as the Swedish Cem in the northwest and Mount Moriah Cem further east. Scattered landmarks like Olson Field and the Po at Stark suggest the lingering community nodes of the early 21st century. The map also records several family-named roads and remote stream branches including Pecan Cr and Rocky Br, providing a clear view of the area's modern rural character.
