About this map

Delphos Cemetery and Saint Paul Cemetery anchor the southwestern corner of this Cloud County landscape, marking the established burial grounds for local families in this agricultural region. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including West Pipe Creek and Yockey Creek, which carve through the plains. The 2008 NAIP imagery used by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads such as Windmill Rd and Acorn Rd, which facilitate the movement of goods across the farmsteads. This network of thoroughfares, including the arterial N 140th Rd, underscores the persistent reliance on road-based transport for the area's agricultural economy, while the drainage patterns of Henry Creek and Dry Creek illustrate the natural hydrology that dictates field placement and land use.
