About this map

Thomas Cemetery stands as a focal point for family history within this agricultural landscape of western Kansas. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Spring Creek and Hackberry Creek, which meander across a predominantly rural grid. These waterways provide natural breaks in the systematic township and range organization that dictates the local infrastructure.

Transportation throughout the quadrangle is facilitated by a network of county roads, including the notable Lane-Finney Rd and Turkey Rd. These routes connect the scattered homesteads and farming operations typical of Finney County. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural hydrology and human land management during the early 21st century, capturing the precise layout of roads like Rowdy Rd and Wichita as they serve the high plains community.
