2009 Map of Crosby Creek

About this map

The South Fork Republican River cuts a wide, meandering path across this Cheyenne County landscape, joined by the smaller drainages of Battle Creek and Crosby Creek. This area of Northwest Kansas is defined by a rigid grid of section roads, such as Co Rd 4 and Co Rd M, which organize the agricultural terrain and provide access to isolated landmarks. Genealogists will find interest in the Zion Lutheran Cemetery in the northwestern quadrant and the Battle Creek Cemetery further south. These sites, along with the sparse infrastructure of the county road system, reflect a long-standing pattern of rural settlement and land use that persists into the early 21st century.
