About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Beardsley serves as a quiet center in this portion of Rawlins County, situated among the dissected uplands of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by the branching drainage systems of N Beaver Cr and Little Beaver Cr, which have carved intricate contour patterns into the terrain before merging into the main channel of Beaver Cr in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Transport in this agrarian region relies on a rigid grid of section-line roads, including Co Rd 407 and Co Rd O, which navigate the elevation changes between the creek bottoms and the higher plateaus. For genealogists and local historians, the Blakeman Cem stands as a significant landmark in the eastern portion of the survey, marking the site of a community that developed alongside the watercourses and trails of western Kansas.
