2009 Map of Heizer

About this map

Walnut Creek and its southern counterpart, Dry Walnut Creek, define the hydrological landscape of this central Kansas region near the close of the first decade of the 2000s. The small community of Heizer sits at a transportation juncture where Main St meets the rail line and state highway system, serving as the local hub for the surrounding Buffalo Township farmlands. This survey provides clear documentation of the rural road grid, including Olmitz Rd and numerous numbered avenues, which structure the agricultural economy of Barton County. For those tracing family history or local land use, the presence of Patterson Cemetery in the west and Everett Cemetery in the southeast offers critical markers of early settlement patterns and genealogical heritage in the prairie landscape.
