2009 Map of Edmond NW

About this map

Prairie Gem Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this portion of Norton County, situated amidst a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of East Elk Creek and Sand Creek. The area is characterized by a structured grid of rural transport routes, including Rd T, Rd U, and Road W, which reflect the organized section-line development typical of the High Plains. This 2009 representation captures the sparse but intentional distribution of human activity, where the topography of the creek beds dictates the placement of crossings and the alignment of local roads like Rd W-3 and Rd W-2. The map illustrates the quiet continuity of rural life in western Kansas, documenting the specific intersections and watercourses that have shaped the local identity and land use for generations.
