2012 Map of Gerlane

About this map

The small settlement of Gerlane serves as the focal point for this section of Barber County, where the meandering Medicine Lodge River shapes the geography of the high plains. The landscape is defined by a systematic grid of section roads and watercourses, including the notable Wilson Slough and several smaller tributaries like Antelope Cr and Brush Cr. This rural environment is a mosaic of drainage patterns and agricultural access routes, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on its river systems. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of Liberty Cem provides a significant touchstone for family history. The network of named routes, such as the Hardtner Shortcut and Gerlane Rd, illustrates the connectivity between these isolated homesteads and larger regional hubs during the early 21st century.
