About this map

The meandering Saline River defines the southern reach of this Kansas landscape, winding through a patchwork of agricultural sections before reaching the settlement of Tescott. This area of Ottawa County exhibits a classic midwestern grid of rural routes, including N 20th Rd and Evergreen Rd, which connect the small riverside communities. To the west, the village of Beverly sits north of a significant river bend, marked by its own local Beverly Cemetery and a central post office.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through several burial grounds established across the prairie, including Twin Hills Cemetery to the north and Price Cemetery situated near the intersection of 10th Rd. The transition between the high plains and the river valley is visible where Spring Creek feeds into the drainage basin, illustrating the geographic factors that dictated the placement of these early 20th-century settlements.
