2009 Map of Clay Center NE

About this map

The northeastern portion of Clay Center serves as the primary urban anchor for this Kansas landscape, where the town's residential grid meets the expansive agricultural reaches of Clay County. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of rural burial grounds, including the Brethren in Christ Cemetery in the north and Hayes Cemetery located near the center of the sheet. Further south, the expansive Greenwood Cemetery borders the edge of the city limits. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south and east-west rural roads that navigate the winding paths of several waterways. Lincoln Creek, Finney Creek, and Spring Creek cut through the prairie, creating a natural drainage pattern that contrasts with the rigid section-line road system. The small settlement of Green is visible on the eastern edge, connected to the wider region by 20th Rd and Thunder Rd.
