2009 Map of Chardon SW

About this map

Ilion Cemetery stands as a quiet landmark in the northern reaches of this Rawlins County landscape, marking the local history of the High Plains. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the North Fork Sappa Creek and the meandering Middle Fork Sappa Creek, which cut through the agricultural sections of the region. A strictly organized grid of section roads, including Co Rd 407 and Co Rd Ee, facilitates movement across the open prairie. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the transition of the Kansas landscape into the modern era, where the traditional ranching and farming layouts are preserved alongside updated county infrastructure like Co Rd Aa.
