2012 Map of Aurora SW

About this map

Delphos Cem sits in the southwestern reaches of this Cloud County landscape, a vital point of reference for genealogists tracking early families in this section of north-central Kansas. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainages of several waterways, including Yockey Cr, Henry Cr, and Dry Cr, which flow through a grid of rural roads. The rectilinear survey system is clearly visible, with routes like Windmill Rd, Volunteer Rd, and Acorn Rd carving the prairie into sections. Highway 81 provides a modern north-south transit spine, while W Pipe Cr winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the region, where the naming of local thoroughfares like Ute Rd and Bell Rd reflects the intersection of geography and local history.
