About this map

McKinley Cemetery stands as a quiet marker of the local history within this rural Kansas landscape, situated near the western edge of the High Plains. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of intermittent waterways, where the Middle Fork Lake Creek and South Fork Lake Creek carve shallow paths across the township. These seasonal stream beds, including Goose Creek and Armstrong Draw, dictate the orientation of the local road network, which follows a rigid section-line grid despite the shifting topography. The prominence of watercourse names like N Fk Lake Creek suggests the critical importance of drainage and water access in this agricultural region. The 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey preserves the layout of rural routes such as Wa N 14 and RD Wa-W-BB, which connect the scattered homesteads and pastures of Wallace County.
