2012 Map of Haviland NE

About this map

The agricultural grid of Kiowa County dominates this 2012 survey, revealing the persistent patterns of rural Kansas life. Scattered across the section lines are several family and community landmarks, including Providence Cem, Haviland Cem, and Wellsford Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogists tracking early settlers in the region. The landscape is primarily defined by its intersecting section roads like CO Hwy-53 and NW 150th Ave, yet it also contains specific industrial and natural deviations. The Fruit Oil and Gas Field indicates the subsurface resource economy that operates alongside traditional farming, while Lost Lake provides a rare hydrologic feature in this otherwise dry upland. The map documents the enduring infrastructure of the Kansas prairie, from the precise road alignments to the quiet, established burial grounds that anchor the rural townships.
