2012 Map of Carneiro

About this map

Carneiro serves as the focal point for this Central Kansas landscape, where the prairie transitions into the drainage basins of the Smoky Hill River and its tributaries. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features, notably the unique formations within Mushroom Rock State Park. To the south, the expansion of Kanopolis Lake has altered the historic shoreline, creating a recreational corridor that includes Kanopolis State Park Eagle Point Campground and the Rockin' K Horse Campground at Kanopolis State Park. Local history is anchored by the Carneiro Cem and the more distant Buckeye Cem, while the water network is defined by the winding paths of Clear Cr, Alum Cr, and Thompson Cr. The map details a grid of rural avenues and roads that connect the dispersed settlement of Yankee Run to the larger surrounding agricultural landscape.
