2015 Map of Bachelors Run

About this map

Pleasant Hill Cem serves as a quiet landmark in this rural Smith County landscape, which is defined by a rhythmic network of numbered section roads and prairie waterways. The drainage pattern here is particularly intricate, with the namesake Bachelors Run carving through the eastern sections while Middle Beaver Cr and W Beaver Cr wind across the central and western terrain. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring township-and-range grid, where roads like 20 RD and 90 RD create a structured geometry over the undulating land. The presence of Cottonwood Cr, Calumet Cr, and Iowa Cr suggests a region deeply connected to its hydrology, where small creeks have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and grazing lands since the early days of Kansas settlement.
