2018 Map of Downs South

About this map

Downs sits at the northern edge of this Osborne County landscape, where the confluence of the North Fork Solomon River and branches of the South Fork Solomon River shape the agricultural plains. This modern survey captures the enduring rural footprint of North Central Kansas, marked by the small settlements of Corinth and Forney. The map reveals a high density of historical sites for genealogists, including the Iowa Cem, Corinth Cem, and South Solomon Cem, which anchor the local community history. A grid of section-line roads like Levy Rd and Co Rd 388 navigates the drainage systems of Indian Cr and Twin Cr, illustrating how late 20th-century land management continues to follow the natural contours of the river valleys and the established township boundaries.
