About this map

Claflin stands as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of Barton County, where a rigid grid of rural roads like Ne 180 RD and Ne 90 Ave defines the modern land divisions. The survey documents several distinct community clusters, including Odin and Hitschmann, which serve as long-standing anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burial sites, such as Pleasant View Cem near the town center, Bloomingdale Cem, and Holy Family Cem located on the western edge of the quadrangle.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through the course of Cow Cr as it winds south toward the wetlands. In the southwestern corner, the map captures a portion of the significant conservation area known as Cheyenne Bottoms, including Pool 3B. This 2015 edition provides a clear record of the intersection between the established town street plan of Claflin—with its named thoroughfares like Hamilton St and Albro St—and the vast, open fields that characterize this portion of the Great Plains.
