2011 Map of Culbertson SW

About this map

Cornell Cemetery stands as a quiet landmark near the southern boundary of this Rawlins County landscape, offering a point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the High Plains. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal waterways, primarily the winding course of Willow Creek and the branching segments of Driftwood Creek. To the north and south, the North Fork Driftwood Creek and South Fork Driftwood Creek carve through the agricultural tableland, creating subtle relief in an otherwise expansive plains environment. The eastern edge of the map features distinct topographical depressions at Burr Oak Canyon and East Oak Canyon, where the land drops away from the surrounding fields. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of rural routes, including Co RD and RD 708, which connect isolated farmsteads and manage the agricultural rhythm of this border region near the Kansas-Nebraska line.
