2009 Map of Herndon

About this map

Herndon serves as the central hub of this Rawlins County survey, situated just north of the winding course of Beaver Creek. The landscape is characterized by a structured grid of rural roads and section lines, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural patterns of the Kansas High Plains. Genealogy and local history are anchored by three distinct burial grounds: Union Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Evangelical Cemetery, which are spaced across the northern and eastern peripheries of the townsite. The layout of these sites and the concentration of development near the intersection of Co RD 314 illustrate the community's early 21st-century footprint, where the river valley and upland prairie dictate the placement of local infrastructure and heritage sites.
