About this map

Wales, McPherson, and Hawthorne anchor this agricultural landscape in Montgomery County, defining a rural network of small settlements connected by a rigorous grid of section-line roads. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Indian Creek, Little Indian Creek, Crabapple Creek, and Walnut Creek, which dictate the local topography and drainage patterns.

For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for the Gomer Cemetery in the north and Lowens Cemetery to the west. The transition toward modern infrastructure is evident in the southeast corner with the presence of the Red Oak Municipal Airport, contrasting with the established township road system that includes alphabetically named avenues like Boxelder Ave, Dogwood Ave, and Evergreen Ave.
