2009 Map of Claflin

About this map

Claflin stands as the primary hub of this Barton County landscape, where the town's street grid, including A St and D St, meets the regional highway. The surrounding plains are marked by small rural communities like Odin and Hitschmann, each connected by a precise network of sectional roads such as NE 140 Rd. For those tracing local heritage, several burial grounds are documented, including Holy Family Cemetery, Bloomingdale Cemetery, and Pleasant View Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cow Creek and the northeastern margins of Cheyenne Bottoms, indicating the proximity to one of the most significant wetland systems in the region. This 2009 survey reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the Kansas prairie, maintaining a rigid grid of avenues and roads that have facilitated travel and trade for generations.
