2009 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton serves as the primary focal point of this Norton County landscape, situated where the high plains are dissected by the winding course of Prairie Dog Creek. The town's grid is oriented around its transportation roots, with street names like Railroad Ave and Kansas Ave defining the local geography. To the east, the rural character of the region is evident in the presence of the Gettis Cemetery, providing a specific point of interest for genealogical research in this part of Northwest Kansas. The terrain is further defined by a series of drainage systems, including Plum Creek, Big Timber Creek, and Elk Creek, which carve gentle valleys across the agricultural sections. This survey provides a clear view of the section-line road network, including routes like Co Rd 352 and Rd W-13, which organize the homesteads and fields surrounding the central settlement.
