2018 Map of Aurora

About this map

The town of Aurora serves as the central hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, where the agricultural grid meets a complex drainage system of prairie creeks. This survey reveals a pattern of settlement and remembrance, with three distinct burial grounds—Saint Peter's Cem, Princeville Cem, and Enterprise Cem—situated along the township lines. The terrain is defined by the branching headwaters of several drainages, including Middle Pipe Cr and W Pipe Cr to the south, while Elm Cr and its various branches, such as W Br Elm Cr and E Br Elm Cr, carve through the northern sections. A robust network of section-line roads, including Co RD 372 and Eagle RD, connects the scattered farmsteads across the townships of Cloud County, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of the Great Plains.
