About this map

Cambridge serves as the primary settlement in this section of Cowley County, situated at the intersection of local routes and the wandering path of Grouse Cr. The surrounding landscape is defined by the eastern reaches of the Flint Hills, where the drainage patterns of Silver Cr, Coon Cr, and School Cr carve into the prairie terrain. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by a high concentration of established burial grounds that trace family lineages across the township.

Genealogists will find several distinct sites including Grand Prairie Cem to the northwest and Gospel Ridge Cem in the southeast corner. The local infrastructure follows a rigid section-line grid, exemplified by roads like 102nd RD and 231st RD, which contrast with the irregular meanders of Blue Br and Cedar Cr. This 2012 survey captures the area's enduring character as an agricultural and ranching hub near the Burden Cem and Windsor Cem.
