About this map

Ash Grove and the small settlement of Victor anchor this rural landscape in Mitchell County, defined by a network of sectional roads and meandering creek beds. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by several dispersed burial grounds including Patterson Cem, Round Springs Cem, and Bethany Cem. These locations, along with Trail Creek Cem to the south, provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing the families of the central Kansas plains.

The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways such as Rattlesnake Cr, Bacon Cr, and Little Timber Cr, which influenced the placement of early homesteads and the eventual grid of county roads. From Ash Grove Rd to the various numbered routes like 120th Rd, the layout of this 2012 survey shows the persistent agricultural character of the region, where the natural drainage of Rock Cr and its tributaries continues to shape the local geography.
