About this map

Covert serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Osborne County, situated where the local road network of Co RD 671 and W 195th DR converges. The terrain is defined by the winding drainage of Kill Cr and Covert Cr, which carve through the plains to create the distinct breaks and ridges characteristic of this part of Kansas. One of the few named topographic landmarks, Sand Mound, rises in the southeastern section of the quadrangle.

For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Covert Cem and the more remote Bristow Cem in the northeast. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the grid of township lines including t8s r13w and t9s r14w, illustrating a century-old pattern of rural settlement and property division that remains visible in the modern road system.
