About this map

Cookville serves as the central point of this Woodson County landscape, where the rural grid of Southeast Kansas is defined by section roads like 95th Rd and 200th St. The area is notably dense with pioneer-era burial sites, reflecting a deep genealogical record through Saint Marys Cemetery, Skeeters Cemetery, and Linder Cemetery. The drainage of the region is directed by several winding waterways, including Cherry Creek, Owl Creek, and Otter Springs Creek, which carve subtle paths through the agricultural fields.

Industrial activity is anchored by the Rose Oil Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the intersection of energy extraction and farming life. Further south, Oliver Cemetery and Ellison Cemetery mark the enduring presence of local families near Scatter Creek. This 2010 survey provides a contemporary view of these established land uses, from the oil fields to the remote country cemeteries.
