About this map

The rolling drainage basins of Riley County define this landscape, where the Tabor Valley and numerous tributaries converge. The intricate network of waterways, including Deep Creek, School Creek, and Deadman Creek, illustrates the hydraulic patterns that shaped early land divisions and later transportation routes. Interstate 70 bisects the terrain, running east-west and crossing the upper reaches of the South Branch Deep Creek.

Rural infrastructure is marked by a grid of local roads named for early families and geographical landmarks, such as Pickering Rd, Tabor Ln, and Letter Rock Rd. Of particular interest to local historians is the Mineral Springs Spr, suggesting a specific water source that likely served as a local landmark. The presence of Old K18 Rd in the south provides a reference to the region's earlier highway configuration before modern interstate development.
