2012 Map of Cato

About this map

Cato and the surrounding Crawford County countryside are defined by a dense concentration of rural burial grounds and a grid of secondary roads in the early 21st century. The map reveals a high density of small family or community cemeteries, including Pine Lawn Cem, Tweedy Cem, and Howard Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Kansas. The landscape is drained by a network of waterways such as Buck Run and W Fork Dry Wood Cr, which meander through a region primarily settled around small hubs like Garland and Dry Wood. In the southwest corner, the Bone Creek Reservoir stands as a primary water feature, while the presence of landmarks like Old Arcadia Cem near the eastern border provides a spatial link to the neighboring community of Arcadia.
