2022 Map of Edmond NW

About this map

Prairie Gem Cem stands as a lonely landmark in this high-plains landscape of Norton County, providing a vital point of reference for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of E Elk Cr and Sand Cr, which carve through the sectional grid of the Kansas prairie. These seasonal watercourses dictate the subtle shifts in elevation that separate the vast agricultural tracts. The map's strictly rectangular road network, featuring labels like Road S, Rd U, and Rd X, underscores the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the region's development. This 2022 dataset captures the area's modern topography while preserving the locations of historical features like the cemetery, which remains a rare physical link to the early families of the Edmond vicinity.
