2022 Map of Waverly NW

About this map

Melvern and Olivet anchor the northern reaches of this Kansas landscape, where the headwaters of the Marais des Cygnes river system begin to take shape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Frog Creek and Long Creek, which carve through the prairie towards the reservoir just beyond the map's edge. A notable transition occurs at the boundary of Osage and Coffey Counties, where the rural grid of section roads meets the modern infrastructure of Beto Junction. The map captures a moment of intersection between late-nineteenth-century township divisions, such as t18s r15e, and contemporary transportation corridors. Family-named routes like S Jordan Rd and S Berryton Rd trace the path of long-standing homesteads, while Sand Cr and Joe Cr provide the primary natural landmarks for the southern half of the quadrangle.
