2018 Map of Aurora NW

About this map

Wilcox Cem and Hall Cem are situated within the rolling section lines of this rural Kansas landscape, where the headwaters of several drainages begin their descent. The map illustrates a strictly rectilinear road network, with routes like Co Rd 370, Hawk Rd, and Eagle Rd defining the grid of agricultural life in Cloud County. This 2018 survey detail shows how water remains the primary natural disruption to the human-imposed geometry of the land. Small creeks, including Wolf Cr and W Br Oak Cr, carve subtle valleys through the prairie. Near the eastern edge, Kindel Cem provides a final resting place along the plateau, while the winding path of W Pipe Cr suggests the gentle topography that dictates the drainage of the Solomon River watershed.
