2012 Map of Carwood Cemetery

About this map

Ladder Creek meanders through the high plains of Wichita County, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural landscape in western Kansas. The terrain is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads and section lines that frame the dry upland fields. Near the northern edge of the sheet, Carwood Cemetery stands as a significant landmark for family historians, marking the location of the former Carwood community. This survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2012, illustrates the sparse settlement and geographic isolation of this portion of Leoti Township, where the few named features reflect the essential reliance on local water sources and the preservation of early regional history through its burial grounds.
