2018 Map of Edson

About this map

Edson anchors this portion of Sherman County, sitting atop the high plains where the agricultural grid meets the natural drainage of the S Fork Sappa Cr. The settlement is defined by its position along historical transit corridors, most notably the path of Old Us Hwy 24, which runs parallel to the modern interstate and serves as a reminder of the earlier automotive era in western Kansas. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a systematic network of section roads like Mosbarger Rd and Co Rd 66, which carve the prairie into precise townships. A significant local landmark for genealogists and historians is the Edison Cem, situated just west of the town center. This survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's high-altitude plains and the intermittent watercourses that have shaped land use and habitation for generations.
