About this map

Saint Cyril Cemetery sits as a quiet landmark in the rural expanse of northern Rawlins County, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of this High Plains region. The landscape is primarily defined by the seasonal drainage patterns of South Fork Driftwood Creek, which meanders across the territory, carving subtle depressions into the open terrain. In the northern reaches, Wildhorse Canyon provides a distinct geographic break in the otherwise steady topography. This 2009 snapshot shows a region defined by agricultural utility and sparse population, where the road network, including Co Rd 308, follows the strict section lines typical of the Midwest's rural development. The presence of a dedicated cemetery in such an open landscape speaks to the generational persistence of local ranching and farming families.
