About this map

Round Mound rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Osborne County, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural landscape. The settlement of Round Mound is situated near the southern edge of the sheet, where the Round Mound Cem provides a primary genealogical record for local families. The terrain is defined by a series of high points and drainage systems, including Mount Ayr in the north and the distinct Pilot Mound to the west. This agricultural region is carved by the winding paths of Medicine Cr and Kill Cr, which dictate the placement of the section-line road network. The map reveals a highly structured grid of county roads, such as W 140th Dr and S 270th Ave, that connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating Kansas plains during the early twenty-first century.
