About this map

Clay Center anchors the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape, where a grid of residential streets including Sherman St and Maple St meets the open country. The Republican River winds diagonally across the terrain, joined by several tributaries such as Lincoln Cr and Otter Cr. This river system creates a complex drainage pattern through the sections of Clay County, influencing the placement of local roads and land use. Rural burial grounds including Broughton Cem, Gilbert Cem, and Gatesville Cem are preserved among the fields, serving as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing families in the T8S and T9S townships. The land south of the river is characterized by the meandering Cane Creek and Mall Cr, illustrating the well-watered nature of these central Kansas plains.
