About this map

The Republican River meanders across this northern Kansas landscape, anchoring a rural community centered on the adjacent towns of Clifton and Vining. This 2012 survey illustrates a grid of section roads like Concord Rd and Arrowhead Rd that partition the agricultural land between several watercourses, including Scribner Cr and Mud Cr. The concentration of infrastructure in Clifton, including the Po and a network of named streets such as Strand St and Parallel Rd, reflects its role as the local hub for the surrounding township.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites distributed throughout the quadrangle, which mark the area's long-established family lineages. These include Saint Mary's Cem to the north, Pleasant View Cem near the town center, and Riverdale Cem to the south. The proximity of these cemeteries to the smaller creeks, such as Parsons Cr, offers clues into the early settlement patterns of the river valley before modern road classifications like CO Hwy-354 redefined the region's transport network.
