2012 Map of Herndon

About this map

Beaver Cr meanders across this Rawlins County landscape, shaping the development of the high plains of northwest Kansas. In this 2012 survey, the rural grid of section lines is punctuated by the small settlement of Herndon, where local streets like Keystone St and Lockhart St converge near the Po. The map documents several significant burial sites that reflect the area's pioneer heritage and denominational history, including Union Cem, Saint Mary's Cem, and Evangelical Cem. The interplay between the drainage of Beaver Cr and the established road network, such as Co RD-314, illustrates the persistence of small-scale agricultural communities in the modern era.
