About this map

Sharps Creek and its various tributaries, including the North Branch Sharps Creek and South Sharps Creek, define the drainage of this McPherson County agricultural landscape. The area is marked by a strict section-line road grid, with several routes bearing names of indigenous and historical significance such as Quivera Rd, Pueblo Rd, and Moccasin Rd.

For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a vital record of three distinct community burial grounds: Excelsior Cemetery in the northwest, Fairview Cemetery near the center, and Windom Cemetery in the southwest corner. The southern boundary is framed by Limestone Rd and the Blaze Fork waterway, showing the persistence of rural settlement patterns and land use in central Kansas during the early twenty-first century.
