2015 Map of Ash Valley

About this map

Ash Valley serves as a central point in this rural landscape near the boundary of Rush Co and Pawnee Co. The area is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Ash Cr and Dry Walnut Cr, which cut through the high plains of central Kansas. Genealogical interest centers on the Ash Valley Cem, located south of the main settlement area along 180th Ave. This survey illustrates the classic grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Timken Rd and Harold Ave following section lines that have organized the regional agriculture for generations. The map documents the enduring rural character of the region, where wide-open sections and family farmsteads are connected by a network of gravel roads including Ave X and Ave Y.
