About this map

Buda Cemetery sits near the intersection of Co Rd 523 in this section of Finney County, where the landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages. These prairie waterways, including Plum Creek, Spring Creek, and Hackberry Creek, carve low-relief paths through the high plains. The map illustrates a strictly orthographic road grid, with routes like Lane-Ness Rd and Hodgeman County Rd following section lines that facilitate large-scale agriculture. The presence of the cemetery alongside these drainage basins and section-line roads offers a precise point of reference for researchers tracing the early 21st-century footprint of rural western Kansas, specifically the transition between Finney and Hodgeman counties.
