About this map

The N Fork Solomon River meanders across the southern portion of this North Central Kansas landscape, providing the primary hydrological backbone for the small community of Cedar. This 2012 survey shows the township's grid oriented around Main St and Center St, illustrating a classic rural settlement pattern typical of Smith County. The presence of the Kirwin Main Canal north of the river indicates a landscape heavily influenced by irrigation infrastructure, which supports the agricultural productivity of the surrounding plains.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find important landmarks such as Saint Francis Cem in the southwestern quadrant and Cedar Cem located just north of the village. The map detail extends to the confluence of various drainage systems including Glen Rock Cr and E Cedar Cr, which feed into the larger river valley. These features, along with secondary routes like Co Rd 515, offer a comprehensive view of the area's modern rural development and land use.
