About this map

The rolling drainage basins of Humboldt Cr define this rural landscape on the border of Geary and Wabaunsee counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of family-named creeks and branches, including MacArthur Br, Thierer Br, and Poole Br, which carve through the Flint Hills terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of several secluded burial grounds that speak to the area's early settlement patterns, such as the Upper Humboldt Cem in the northwest and the Damoris Quaker Cem to the south.

Transport and property divisions follow a hybrid of natural topography and the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Roads like Old HWY 13 and Florence RD navigate the ridges between the forks of the creek, while landmarks such as Moss Spring and the Moss-Springs-Cem mark the eastern reaches of this prairie environment. The presence of Welcome Cemetery RD and Welcome Cem further illustrates the established community nodes that have persisted in this ranching country.
