About this map

The settlement of Carlton serves as the central hub of this Dickinson County landscape, organized by a precise grid of agricultural avenues and local roads. The town's small footprint is defined by Main Ave, 1st St, and N 7th St, reflecting the characteristic rural planning of the Kansas plains. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is drained by the winding courses of West Holland Creek and East Holland Creek, which cut through the sectional survey lines and influence the placement of regional thoroughfares like Eden Rd and Deer Rd.

Family history researchers will find important landmarks in the outlying sections, including Fairview Cemetery to the northeast and Woodlawn Cemetery to the southwest. These sites, along with the numerous named section roads such as Camp Rd and Solomon Rd, provide specific geographic markers for tracing land ownership and community development in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a stable, water-dependent agricultural economy centered on the Holland Creek watershed.
