2016 Map of Walnut

About this map

Walnut sits at the intersection of Crawford and Neosho counties, serving as the central hub for a landscape defined by its prairie drainages. The town's grid is anchored by E Front St and S Main St, with the residential area concentrated just north of the junction of several local stream systems. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the surrounding countryside is dotted with established burial sites including Glenwood Cem to the north and the combined Olive School Cem to the south. The drainage patterns of Little Walnut Cr and Walnut Cr reveal the natural topography that dictated early settlement and agricultural boundaries. A dense network of section-line roads, such as Xavier Rd and Walnut Rd, provides a clear view of the rural land divisions and property access points that have persisted into the modern era.
