2012 Map of Esbon

About this map

The town of Esbon serves as the focal point of this Jewell County survey, situated at the junction of Grand Ave and Henry St. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of White Rock Cr, Smith Cr, and W Limestone Cr. To the north, the small community of Salem remains a notable landmark in this rural expanse. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including the Esbon Cem just east of town, the Saint Elizabeth Cem to the south, and the more isolated Zion Cem in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map illustrates a grid-like road system typical of the Great Plains, where routes like S Rd and E St navigate the subtle shifts in elevation between the various creek basins.
