2018 Map of Beardsley

About this map

Beardsley serves as the central settlement in this portion of Rawlins County, situated among the high plains drainage systems of the Republican River basin. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of N Beaver Cr, Little Beaver Cr, and the primary Beaver Cr to the southeast. These watercourses have carved distinct valleys into the terrain, creating a network of draws and ridges that dictated the placement of early infrastructure. Rural life is anchored by family and community landmarks such as the Blakeman Cem, located east of the main town site. A grid of section-line roads, including Co Rd 407 and Brook Creek Rd, facilitates travel across the township boundaries of t2s r35w and t3s r34w, reflecting the enduring Public Land Survey System layout of Western Kansas.
