2009 Map of Gaylord SW

About this map

Leasburg Cemetery and Grant Cemetery anchor this section of northern Kansas, serving as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing early families in Osborne County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage of several watercourses, including Glen Rock Creek and Laurence Creek, which weave through a structured grid of rural section roads. This 2009 survey reflects the enduring agricultural organization of the Great Plains, where the road network follows strict cardinal alignments. Primary local routes such as Co Rd 657 and Co Rd 362 connect the scattered farmsteads and rural properties, while Crooked Creek cuts across the southern reach of the quadrangle. The map is a precise record of late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century rural land use, documenting the placement of cemeteries and infrastructure that have defined this community for generations.
