2012 Map of Bachelors Run

About this map

Pleasant Hill Cem stands as a central landmark in this Smith County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of branching waterways. The drainage pattern is led by the south-flowing Bachelors Run and the winding course of Middle Beaver Cr, which intersects several other tributaries including W Beaver Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment, dominated by a strict grid of section lines and local routes like Co RD 629. This layout reflects the enduring impact of the Public Land Survey System on the Kansas plains, where agricultural life is organized around these primary water sources and the occasional hilltop cemetery that serves the surrounding farming community.
