2022 Map of Carneiro

About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders through the heart of this Ellsworth County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by its watercourses and the eastern reaches of Kanopolis Lake. The settlement of Carneiro serves as the primary local landmark, situated near the headwaters of Alum Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Carneiro Cem and Buckeye Cem, which provide specific points of interest for family research. The map illustrates a structured grid of rural roads, such as Ave J and 22nd Rd, connecting scattered agricultural parcels. Tributaries like Thompson Creek and Clear Cr feed into the river system, reflecting the drainage patterns essential to the region's geography. This survey documents the intersection of natural hydrology and rural development in central Kansas.
