2018 Map of Athol

About this map

The settlement of Athol serves as the primary hub on this North Central Kansas landscape, where the grid of Main St, Cedar St, and Pine St provides a structured core amidst the surrounding agricultural expanses of Smith County. The terrain is defined by several watercourses including Cottonwood Cr, W Beaver Cr, and E Cedar Cr, which cut through the township divisions of t2s r15w, t2s r14w, t3s r15w, and t3s r14w. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds across the area, including Meade Cem, Zion Cem, and Pleasant View Cem, each positioned near the local road network of numbered and lettered routes like Co Rd 515 and F Rd. The map illustrates a meticulously planned section-line road system that organizes the rural landscape into predictable parcels characteristic of the Great Plains.
