2018 Map of Gaylord

About this map

The North Fork Solomon River defines the southern reach of this agricultural landscape in Smith County, where the town of Gaylord serves as a primary hub. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road grid, with routes such as 250 RD and Co RD 1553 providing access to outlying farms and homesteads. Local history is anchored by the Gaylord Cem and Christ Cem, the latter situated north of town near the headwaters of Beaver Cr. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions toward Smith Center, shaped by the drainage patterns of Spring Cr and W Beaver Cr. This survey captures the enduring rural character of North Central Kansas, where the township and range system remains the fundamental framework for land use and settlement.
