2018 Map of Hargrave

About this map

The settlement of Hargrave sits at the heart of this Rush County landscape, where the High Plains terrain is etched by the drainage of Big Timber Cr and Sand Cr. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including routes like Ave G and Ave L, which navigate the subtle rises and draws of the prairie. For those tracing family ties to this part of Kansas, the presence of Hampton Cem in the north and Hall Cem to the south provides specific points of interest for genealogical research. These small burial grounds and the sparse distribution of homesteads reflect the enduring agricultural character of the region. The intermittent flow of Snake Cr further illustrates the environmental challenges and water management patterns typical of the era.
