About this map

Buckeye sits at the heart of this Dickinson County landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System strictly dictates the placement of rural roads and property lines. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Chapman Cr in the northeast and a series of north-south thoroughfares including Key Rd (1300) and Lark Road (1400). The map reveals a deeply rooted agrarian community, evidenced by several well-preserved rural burial grounds that serve as focal points for local genealogy.

Three distinct cemeteries — Green Ridge Cem, Cheever Cem, and Union Cem — are spaced across the townships of t11s r2e, t11s r3e, t12s r2e, and t12s r3e. The transition from established gravel roads like 3600 Ave to more primitive tracks like Iron Rd and Jeep Rd reflects the varying levels of accessibility across this section of the Kansas plains. This survey provides a precise accounting of the sections and ranges that continue to define land ownership in the region today.
