2009 Map of Aurora NW

About this map

Wilcox Cemetery and Hall Cemetery anchor this rural section of Cloud County, illustrating the enduring markers of family history in north-central Kansas. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several drainage systems, including the winding course of Wolf Creek and the divergent paths of West Branch Oak Creek and East Branch Oak Creek. These watercourses carve through the agricultural grid, influencing the placement of local roads like Ivy Rd and Fawn Rd. In the eastern portion of the survey, the Kindel Cemetery serves as another historical landmark for genealogists. The map demonstrates a classic Great Plains settlement pattern where small community cemeteries and seasonal creeks like Coal Creek and Yockey Creek remain the primary features among the sprawling section lines.
