About this map

Vine Creek anchors the northern reaches of this Ottawa County landscape, where the prairie is defined by the winding paths of Vine Cr and Coal Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a traditional township-and-range grid system that organizes the agricultural life of the region, with properties bordered by roads that evoke the pioneer history of the plains, such as Homestead Rd and Frontier Rd.

Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the Vine Creek Cem, situated near the settlement at the junction of Landmark Dr and Kiowa Rd. The map tracks the drainage patterns of the local creek systems, including Buckeye Cr in the east, which carve subtle relief into the flatlands. This document captures the modern state of a quiet Kansas farming community, where the road network like Coronado Rd reflects the enduring geometry of the American Midwest.
