2012 Map of Falun

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Falun serves as the focal point for this agrarian landscape in southwestern Saline County. Situated at the junction of Falun Rd and S Forsse Rd, the village contains a local Po and is surrounded by a grid of rural routes named for early settler families, such as Thorstenburg Rd and W Sundgren Rd. The topography is defined by several prominent landmarks that rise above the drainage basins of Ralston Cr and Spring Cr, including Soldier Cap Mound, Potato Hill, and Coiner Dome. To the south, the Dry Creek Cem sits near the headwaters of W Dry Cr, offering a point of interest for genealogists tracing the Swedish-American heritage of this region. The map captures a transition where the rolling prairie is dissected by narrow creek beds, showing a stable pattern of land use focused on large-scale agriculture and dispersed farmsteads.
