2009 Map of Gove SE

About this map

Smoky Hill River meanders across the southern landscape of this Gove County region, joined by the winding course of Indian Creek. This 2009 survey reflects the high plains' characteristic grid-iron road network, marked by rural routes such as Gove M, Gove E, and Gove 62 that carve the terrain into vast agricultural sections. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific points of historical and genealogical significance, notably Morning Star Cemetery in the northwestern quadrant and Alanthus Cemetery situated near the river valley. The landscape is defined by the contrast between these structured county roads and the natural, erratic drainages of the river system, documenting the sparse but persistent settlement pattern of western Kansas in the early 21st century.
