2022 Map of Wonsevu

About this map

Wonsevu is the primary community focal point in this portion of the Flint Hills region, positioned near the southern edge of the survey area. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Cottonwood River and Cedar Creek, which have carved numerous draws and ridges across the Marion and Chase county line. These physical features historically dictated the placement of pioneer-era landmarks, including the Wonsevu Cem, Griffith Cem, and Cedar Point Cem. The grid of section lines and rural routes like Bluestem Rd and Clover Rd overlay a terrain where smaller tributaries such as Turkey Cr, Bills Cr, and Middle Cr converge. This map reflects a transition between the open uplands and the protected creek valleys where local life centered around small settlements and family burial grounds.
