2012 Map of Hargrave

About this map

Hargrave sits at the heart of this central Kansas prairie landscape, where the drainage patterns of Big Timber Cr and its tributaries define the rolling topography of Rush County. The rural character of the region is evident in the sparse but significant landmarks that anchor the local history of the farming community. Two primary burial grounds, Hampton Cem in the northwest and Hall Cem to the south, provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracing family ties to the area's early settlers. The map details the seasonal waterways of Snake Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the section lines of the high plains. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where the original homesteading grid remains the primary organizing force for both transport and settlement.
