2018 Map of Cambridge

About this map

Burden and Cambridge anchor this portion of Cowley County, situated where the rolling grasslands of the Flint Hills give way to a dense network of prairie streams. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Grouse Creek, which is joined by numerous tributaries including Silver Cr, Blue Br, and Cedar Cr. These waterways dictate the local geography, carving subtle valleys through the high plains terrain. Local history and genealogy are preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Grand Prairie Cem to the north and Gospel Ridge Cem in the southeast. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads, like 72nd Rd and 281st Rd, that facilitate movement through this agricultural region, connecting isolated farmsteads to the primary settlement at Cambridge.
