2012 Map of Chardon

About this map

The High Plains landscape of Rawlins County is defined here by the winding course of the N Fork Sappa Cr, which carves a modest valley through the surrounding agricultural tablelands. This 2012 survey captures the small community of Chardon at a quiet moment in the early 21st century, centered near the intersection of several local routes. The area's settlement history is anchored by the Chardon Cem, located north of the primary townsite, providing a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this portion of northwest Kansas. A geometric network of section-line roads, including Co Rd 414, Co Rd 417, and the primary Co Hwy, structures the terrain, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern Kansas prairie.
