About this map

Saltville Cem and other rural burial grounds sit among the undulating agricultural divides of Mitchell County, where the headwaters of the Solomon River basin have carved a network of draws and creek beds. This high-plains landscape is defined by the steady drainages of Marshall Cr, Fifth Cr, and Fourth Cr, which dictate the placement of farmstead access roads. The township grid is well-established by a system of section-line roads like S RD and 340 RD, while more idiosyncratic paths such as Nelly Trl and Victory Ln follow the natural contours of the land. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of New Hope Cem and Shiloh Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing early families in this corner of Kansas, where the survey lines of t8s r7w and t9s r7w meet.
