About this map

Wayne and Talmo anchor this rural landscape in Republic County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways. The drainage pattern of Salt Cr, Coal Cr, and West Cr suggests a region primarily dedicated to agriculture, with a rectilinear grid of county roads such as Co Road V and Wagon Rd providing access to outlying farmsteads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds scattered across the plains, including Frontier Cem in the north and Hollis Cem near the southern settlement of Hollis. The presence of Rose Hill Cem, Union Cem, and Zion Cem further reflects the community centers of previous generations. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the rural township structure before modern industrial or residential expansion, preserving the location of small-town landmarks and historical family burial sites.
