2015 Map of Gem

About this map

Gem serves as the primary settlement on this High Plains landscape, situated along a grid of section-line roads that define the region's agricultural layout. The town's local history is anchored by the Gem Cem to the west and the layout of Center St within its small core. This 2015 survey illustrates how the environment is shaped by the drainage patterns of Prairie Dog Cr, which meanders through the township boundaries of t7s r32w and t7s r33w. The map preserves the specific alphanumeric identification of the rural road network, from Co RD U near the townsite to the more remote stretches of Co RD Z, reflecting the persistent organization of Thomas County's land use into the 21st century.
