2012 Map of Carlton

About this map

Carlton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Dickinson County, defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and the winding paths of several regional waterways. The town's layout, centered around Main Ave and N 7th St, reflects a classic Kansas prairie settlement pattern where the geometry of human transit meets the natural meanders of Holland Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate burial sites at Fairview Cem in the northeast and Woodlawn Cem to the southwest, providing key points for family research. The terrain is deeply etched by the drainage systems of W Holland Cr and E Holland Cr, which converge as they move through the township. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where named routes like Daisy Rd and Deer Rd connect isolated homesteads to the village core.
