2022 Map of Harlan

About this map

The North Fork Solomon River defines the northern landscape of this region, winding through the valley where the settlement of Harlan is situated. The terrain transition is marked by a network of drainage systems including Spring Cr, Lawrence Cr, and Joy Cr, which carve into the plains across the border of Smith and Osborne counties. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of Butler Cem provides a specific point of reference in the rural sections south of the river. The grid-based road system, including routes like Co RD 362 and W 40th DR, illustrates the persistent township and range structure that has organized this Kansas agricultural landscape for generations.
