2015 Map of Holyrood NW

About this map

Palacky Cem serves as a quiet landmark at the intersection of rural townships in this section of the Kansas plains. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage basins of several prominent local waterways, including the meandering Blood Cr and Wolf Cr, which carve subtle topography through the agricultural grid. These creeks, along with Spring Cr and Loss Cr, dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Stickney Rd and Michaelis Rd. The presence of Holyrood Lake indicates modern water management and recreation amidst a region primarily dedicated to large-scale farming. This survey captures the precisely surveyed boundaries where Barton, Ellsworth, and Russell counties meet, reflecting the late 19th-century land division that continues to organize the Central Kansas social and economic landscape today.
