2018 Map of Bird City South NW

About this map

Wheeler Cem and Saint Pauls Cem anchor this grid of the High Plains, representing the enduring legacy of early settlers in Cheyenne County. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Sand Cr, which carves subtle contours through a territory primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the vast expanses of Townships 3, 4, and 5 South, where the sparse placement of these family-named cemeteries highlights the isolation of prairie life. While modern section roads like Co RD 20 and Co RD M trace the cardinal directions, the underlying geography remains a study in the agricultural persistence and land management of the western Kansas panhandle.
