2009 Map of Whiting

About this map

Whiting and Muscotah serve as the primary hubs in this section of northeast Kansas, where a dense network of sectional roads and watercourses defines the agricultural landscape. The township of Whiting is characterized by its organized street grid, featuring Whiting St and K9 Hwy, while the Whiting City Dam sits just to the north. For those tracing family lineages, Spring Hill Cemetery and Estes Cemetery are key locations for local records. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, dominated by the Delaware River and its numerous tributaries, including the Little Delaware River, Grasshopper Creek, and Walnut Creek. This drainage system illustrates the typical prairie topography of Jackson County, with varied creeks like Straight Creek and Negro Creek cutting through the farmland.
