2022 Map of Ash Valley

About this map

Ash Valley serves as the central focal point of this Pawnee County landscape, situated just south of the Rush Co Pawnee Co line. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of Dry Walnut Creek in the northeast and a systematic network of section-line roads such as Timken Rd and Harold Ave. This modern survey illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where the original land survey system dictates the placement of homesteads and thoroughfares. Genealogists and local historians can find the Ash Valley Cem, a significant landmark for tracing the lineage of families who settled this part of the Kansas prairie. The map provides a clear view of the intersection between human settlement and the natural geography of the plains, where small clusters of buildings are spaced along gravel and dirt routes like Ave X and Ave Y.
