2018 Map of Gove

About this map

The settlement of Gove serves as the central hub for this portion of the Kansas High Plains, situated near the western edge of the county. The town's grid is clearly defined by residential streets such as Lincoln St and Grant St, which cluster around the local administration and business core. Just to the southwest lies the Gove Cem, a primary point of interest for genealogists researching early settlers of this prairie landscape. The surrounding terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems, most notably Hackberry Cr and Indian Cr, which create intricate topographical breaks in the otherwise level agricultural tablelands. These creek beds and the numerous section-line roads, such as Gove 50 and Co Rd N, illustrate the enduring rectangular survey system that organized this region's rural development.
