2012 Map of Great Bend NE

About this map

Walnut Creek and Dry Walnut Creek define the drainage of this Kansas landscape just northeast of the regional center. This 2012 survey shows the transition from the gridded rural farmsteads of the county to the developing northern edges of Great Bend. The northern extent includes the small settlement of Kanbrick and the Walnut Valley Cemetery, while the southern reaches show more modern civic developments. Significant local landmarks such as the Barton County Fairgrounds and Barton Lake sit near the recreational corridor of the Barton Golf Course. Genealogists may find value in the clearly marked locations of Hillcrest Memorial Park and Golden Belt Memorial Park, which serve the local community. The map also captures the organized layout of the Wetlands at Great Bend Aquatic Facility, reflecting contemporary land use focused on both environmental management and local recreation.
