About this map

Herndon serves as the central hub of this Rawlins County survey, situated at the confluence of the high plains and the winding path of Beaver Cr. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Lockhart St and Quincy Ave, reflecting a traditional agricultural settlement layout. The surrounding landscape is etched by the drainage of Tipton Canyon to the north, creating a distinct topographical contrast with the flatter upland sections.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of three distinct burial grounds on the town's periphery: Union Cem, Saint Mary's Cem, and Evangelical Cem. The proximity of these sites, along with the detailed depiction of rural routes like Co RD 314, provides a precise spatial record of the community's heritage and its relationship with the watercourses and canyons of northwest Kansas.
