2022 Map of Catharine
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Catharine and Emmeram anchor this section of the High Plains, where the grid of county roads defines a landscape deeply tied to German-Russian heritage. The settlement at Catharine is characterized by its organized street names like St John St and Saint Catharina St, pointing to the Catholic roots of the Volga German immigrants who settled the area. These cultural markers extend to local resting places such as Saint Catharina Cem and the Sacred Heart Cem near Emmeram, which provide vital touchstones for genealogists tracing early families in the region. The terrain is carved by the drainages of Walker Cr, Mud Cr, and the N Fork Big Cr, which create the only breaks in the geometric agricultural divisions. This survey captures the enduring rural character of Ellis County, where named routes like Feedlot Rd and Fairground Rd reflect the agricultural and communal focus of the modern era.
