2012 Map of Drury Creek

About this map

The S Fork Republican River cuts across the northwest corner of this Cheyenne County landscape, where the high plains of western Kansas are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural corridors. The map details a transition from the river bottom near River Rd to the uplands drained by Drury Cr and the W Fork Sand Cr. The geometry of the county road system, labeled sequentially from Road 11 through Road 16, underscores the agricultural organization of the territory. Located in the southern section of the quadrangle, the Lawn Ridge Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for local families, situated along Road E and Road 15. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where water courses and cemeteries remain the most prominent features in an area otherwise dedicated to section-line farming and open range.
