2012 Map of Atwood NW

About this map

Saint Johns Cem and Enterprise Cem lie among the agricultural sections of northwest Rawlins County, marking the enduring presence of local community history in this corner of the High Plains. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the section-line grid, with local travel facilitated by routes such as CO Road Y and Co RD 316. The topography is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the N Fork Driftwood Cr and S Fork Driftwood Cr, which provide the primary natural relief across the prairie. For genealogists and researchers of Kansas homesteads, the inclusion of Immaculate Conception Cem offers a precise location for family-history sites that often remain the only physical markers of earlier rural settlements in the region.
