About this map

Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts a diagonal path across the rolling Kansas landscape, marking a historic jurisdictional line through Sherman and Center townships. This agricultural area in Pottawatomie County is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward flow of Clear Creek and the southern reaches of Indian Creek. The map shows a rural society organized around small community centers and land plots, evidenced by the scattered placement of Fairview Cem and St Michaels Cem.

Settlement patterns follow the drainage of the creeks, with the Wheaton Corp Bdy appearing at the northern edge of the sheet. Local infrastructure is sparse but specific, featuring the Cloverleaf Sch and a Quarry situated near Mill Creek. This 1964 survey, updated with 1981 aerial revisions, captures the enduring rural character of the region before modern development patterns altered the traditional township grid.
