About this map

Stark and Savonburg anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Allen and Neosho Counties. The map reveals a highly structured township and range system defined by a dense grid of section roads including Arizona Rd, Alabama Rd, and Queen Rd. The drainage patterns of Canville Creek and its tributaries, such as Little Canville Creek and Fourmile Creek, provide the primary relief in an otherwise level prairie.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, such as Swedish Cem in the north and Bethel Cem to the south. Central landmarks like Putnam Cem and the Mount Moriah Cemetery near the county line offer specific points of interest for family history research. Small water bodies like Timber Lake and the settlement at Kimball further illustrate the enduring rural character of this Kansas plains region.
