2012 Map of Whiting

About this map

Whiting and Muscotah anchor this rural landscape in Jackson County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of numbered and named roads like Anderson Rd and Barton Rd. The terrain is shaped by the winding courses of the Delaware River and its many tributaries, including Negro Cr, Brush Cr, and Straight Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of small-town Kansas life, centered on the local Po and essential infrastructure like the Whiting Wastewater Treatment Facility. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds, such as Spring Hill Cem north of town and Estes Cem to the south. The presence of Lake of the Oaks provides a distinctive point of contrast to the surrounding section lines and riparian corridors.
