2015 Map of Carneiro

About this map

The settlement of Carneiro sits in the northern reaches of this central Kansas landscape, where the prairie meets the drainage systems of the Smoky Hill River. The topography is defined by the carved paths of Alum Cr and Clear Cr, which flow south toward the river valley. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the expansive waters of Kanopolis Lake, which altered the historical flow of the river and submerged portions of the valley. Local history and genealogy are anchored by established burial grounds like Carneiro Cem and Buckeye Cem. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as Yankee Run Rd and Avenue N, which provide access to the various creek basins including Thompson Creek and W Spring Cr.
