2010 Map of Carwood Cemetery

About this map

Carwood Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in this portion of the High Plains, reflecting the sparse, organized settlement of Western Kansas at the beginning of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Ladder Creek, which provides a rare natural deviation from the rigid, mile-square section lines that govern the local road network. These straight thoroughfares, including Parks Rd, Co Rd 7, and Co Rd J, delineate a vast agricultural grid typical of the region's land use. The presence of the cemetery alongside these secondary roads serves as a permanent record of the local community's footprint in a terrain where built features are otherwise infrequent, making this a clear reference for genealogical research and the study of rural land patterns.
