About this map

Wheaton Corp Bdy and the surrounding townships of Sherman, Union, and Center define this rural landscape in the mid-1960s. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages including Clear Creek and Indian Creek, where the topography shows the transition between elevated ridges and fertile valley bottoms. A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, cuts diagonally through the townships, reflecting the region's complex nineteenth-century administrative history. Settlement patterns are sparse and agriculturally focused, evidenced by the presence of Cloverleaf Sch and a series of rural burying grounds such as St Michaels Cem, St Lukes Cem, and Fairview Cem. Small-scale industry is represented by a local Quarry, while distinctive natural landmarks like Lone Tree and the seasonal flows of Dutch Hollow provide essential orientation in this portion of Pottawatomie County.
