About this map

The Saline River meanders across the southern landscape of this Ottawa County region, providing a natural southern boundary for the settlements of Beverly and Tescott. This rural corridor is defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the winding path of Spring Creek, which feeds into the larger river system from the north. The area maintains a quiet, community-focused character, marked by essential local infrastructure like the Berkley Brothers Airport and several historic burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of Twin Hills Cemetery, Price Cemetery, and Beverly Cemetery, which serve as permanent records of the families that settled this portion of the Kansas plains. The transition from the high-ground cemeteries to the river-bottom lands reflects a typical pattern of settlement where townsites were established near water while residents sought higher elevations for their memorial grounds.
