2009 Map of Codell

About this map

Codell serves as the central community in this rural Kansas landscape, where the town site is organized along 4th St and AA Rd. This 2009 survey highlights a tradition of scattered rural burial grounds that speak to the area’s genealogy, including Shiloh Cemetery in the northeast, Center Cemetery near the heart of the township, and Conger Cemetery situated further west. The topography is defined by the winding course of Paradise Creek, which meanders across the central portion of the quadrangle, and the distinct elevation of King Hill to the south. A rigid grid of section-line roads, such as Codell Rd and 21 Rd, facilitates travel through the agricultural surroundings, connecting remote farmsteads to the primary settlement and providing a clear view of the land division common to this part of Rooks County.
