2009 Map of Beardsley

About this map

Beardsley sits at the heart of this Western Kansas landscape, defined by the winding paths of the High Plains drainage system. The topography is shaped by the parallel courses of North Beaver Creek, Little Beaver Creek, and the primary Beaver Creek, which create a subtle but distinct relief across the prairie. This 2009 survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of Rawlins County, where the section-line road network, including Co RD 407, provides the framework for local transit and land division. To the east, the Blakeman Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical landmark, anchoring the area's history to a specific physical location. The map illustrates how human settlement and infrastructure have adapted to the watercourses that remain the most prominent natural features in this arid region.
