2018 Map of Barnard

About this map

Barnard sits at the heart of this North Central Kansas landscape, positioned where several drainages converge just south of the Mitchell Co line. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Salt Cr, Rattlesnake Cr, and several branches of Third Cr, which carve through the terrain between sections of open land. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of Milo Cem to the northeast and Union Valley Cem to the southwest, providing specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in this rural community. The map illustrates a traditional section-line road grid, featuring routes like Harper Ave and Main St, that has structured the agricultural layout of Lincoln Co for generations. Further south, the headwaters of Battle Cr and E Elkhorn Cr near Elkhorn Cem show the continued importance of the local watershed in defining property and settlement patterns.
