2012 Map of Bird City South SE

About this map

Little Beaver Cr and Beaver Cr meander through the high plains of northwest Kansas, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural landscape. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads, including Co Line Rd and Road 79, which facilitate the region's ranching and farming operations. This 2012 survey identifies key local landmarks essential for genealogical research and community history, such as the Sunnyside Cem and Shermanville Cem. The presence of the Bursch Private Airport underscores the importance of private aviation in navigating these expansive distances. Unlike many eastern maps, the lack of concentrated town centers here highlights the dispersed nature of High Plains settlement, where life is organized around watercourses and a rigorous township-and-range survey system.
