Barton and Rice County borders define the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in central Kansas. The survey reveals a region characterized by a strictly organized section-line road network, including corridors such as Ave C and NE 150 Ave. Winding natural drainages like Cow Cr, Calf Cr, and Little Cheyenne Cr provide a stark contrast to the geometric precision of the township and range grid. This intersection of natural hydrology and human-imposed boundaries illustrates the late-twentieth-century development of the Kansas plains. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Montgomery Cem and Salem - Fried of Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for genealogists and family researchers tracing the rural residents of these townships.
