2018 Map of Wheaton

About this map

Wheaton sits at the southern edge of this modern survey, where a tight grid of streets including Main St and North St meets the section-line roads of the Kansas prairie. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the Clear Fork, which feeds a network of smaller streams like Irish Cr and Dutch Cr. This area on the border of Marshall and Pottawatomie counties preserves a distinct rural character centered around small crossroads and historical religious sites. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Catholic Cem and Saint Luke Lutheran North Cem, as well as smaller settlements like Lillis and Nolan. The map traces the persistent agricultural road network, such as Parallel Rd and Golden Belt Rd, that has shaped the region's movement for generations.
