2022 Map of Crosby Creek

About this map

S Fork Republican River cuts across the northwest corner of this Cheyenne County landscape, where the high plains of western Kansas are deeply etched by seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the parallel courses of Battle Cr and Crosby Cr, which flow northward toward the river through a grid of section lines and county roads. This layout reflects the enduring homesteading patterns of the region, where isolated rural landmarks serve as the primary anchors for local history. For genealogists and researchers, the map identifies two significant local burial sites: the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Cem in the northern reaches and the Battle Creek Cem situated near the center of the quadrangle. These sites, along with the sparse network of secondary routes like River Rd and various numbered county roads, illustrate the quiet, agrarian character of this high-plains territory.
