About this map

Wheaton and the surrounding rural townships of Pottawatomie County are defined by a network of creeks and prairie roads in this early 21st-century survey. The landscape is carved by watercourses including Mill Cr in the north and the extensive drainage of E Fork Adams Cr to the south. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Saint Michaels Cem and Wheaton Cem, which serve as permanent records of the families who settled this agricultural region.

The map reveals a grid-like transportation system with significant local thoroughfares like Wheaton Rd and Arispie Rd connecting dispersed farmsteads. Features like Darnells Cr and Coal Cr suggest the natural topography that dictated the placement of early homesteads. For those tracing genealogy or land use, the detailed naming of rural routes like Godlove Rd and Possum Hollow Rd provides precise location data for historical research.
