2018 Map of Black Wolf

About this map

Black Wolf sits near the southern edge of this survey, established along the banks of the Smoky Hill River. The landscape is defined by a grid of rural roads, including Old Hwy 40, and several prominent watercourses such as Buffalo Cr and Cow Cr that carve through the central terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably dense with community landmarks, specifically four distinct burial sites: Excelsior Lutheran Cem, Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem, Pleasant Valley Cem, and Fairview Cem. These cemeteries, often associated with early immigrant congregations, are scattered across the township lines of the Lincoln and Ellsworth county border, providing a clear map of rural settlement patterns in central Kansas during the early twenty-first century.
