About this map

Meredith Cem and Saint Peters church sit near the northern border of this central Kansas landscape, where the agricultural grid meets a series of meandering creek beds. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Yockey Cr, Henry Cr, and Dry Cr, which cut through the sections of Cloud and Ottawa counties. This 2018 survey captures a rural infrastructure still rooted in early settlement patterns, visible in the placement of Bethel Cem and Delphos Cem along the section-line roads. The division between Cloud Co and Ottawa Co is clearly marked by Co Line Rd, illustrating how political boundaries were often superimposed upon the rolling prairie. Named routes like Windmill Rd and Wilderness Rd reflect the local heritage and the enduring network of county roads that service the scattered farmsteads and rural parish centers.
