2012 Map of Gridley NW

About this map

Apostolic Cem sits at the southern edge of this Lyon County landscape, serving as a quiet landmark amidst a grid of rural township roads and agricultural sections. The area is defined by a dense network of prairie drainage, including the headwaters and branches of N Big Cr, Otter Cr, and Fourmile Cr. Small bodies of water like Birk Lake appear alongside these winding creeks, reflecting the local hydrology of eastern Kansas. Transport in the region is dominated by an orderly system of thoroughfares such as Blackbird Rd, Contour Rd, and numerous numbered township roads. In the northeast, Thomsen Field Airport provides a point of aviation infrastructure, while smaller streams like Dinner Cr and Long Cr cut through the southwestern corner, illustrating the intricate creek systems that dictated early land use and property boundaries in the county.
