2010 Map of Carneiro

About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds through this Central Kansas landscape, feeding into the northern reaches of Kanopolis Lake. The settlement of Carneiro serves as a local focal point near the northern edge of the map, situated near the confluence of Alum Creek and the river valley. A grid of rural routes, including Ave J and 22nd Rd, connects isolated homesteads and burial sites that reflect the area's pioneer heritage. Local history is anchored by the Carneiro Cemetery and Buckeye Cemetery, which stand as enduring markers of early family settlements in Ellsworth County. Further south, the recreation area of Yankee Run borders the lake, where the terrain shifts from agricultural plains to the more varied topography surrounding the reservoir and its tributaries like Thompson Creek and Clear Creek.
