About this map

Saint Cyril Cem stands as a focal point of historical significance in this portion of Rawlins County, appearing as a lone religious landmark amidst the high plains terrain. The landscape is primarily defined by the seasonal drainage patterns of the S Fork Driftwood Cr, which carves its way through the section lines, and the deep incision of Wildhorse Canyon in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

A network of rural routes, including Co Rd 308 and Co Rd 316, follows the rigid Public Land Survey System grid that dictates the region's agricultural layout. This recent survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates how the modern road system, such as Field Trail Rd, adapts to the natural topography of the Kansas plains while maintaining the orderly township and range divisions established over a century ago.
