2022 Map of Diamond Springs

About this map

Diamond Springs serves as the focal point of this agricultural and ranching landscape at the boundary of Morris and Chase counties. The area is defined by a dense network of prairie drainage, where Dodds Cr and Silver Cr feed into the larger Diamond Cr system. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape of established section-line roads like Diamond Creek Rd and Helmick Rd, which navigate the subtle rises between creek beds. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds, including the Diamond Springs Cem, the Diamond Creek Cem, and the Boenitz Cem situated near Pickett Cr. The naming of School Cr and Fourmile Cr suggests the enduring importance of these waterways in defining the early rural school districts and travel distances across the Kansas plains.
