About this map

The city of Jewell serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Jewell County, situated near the confluence where Middle Buffalo Cr and W Buffalo Cr meet. The street grid of the town is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares such as Broadway St, N Columbus St, and Pearl St. Surrounding the settlement, the terrain is shaped by an intricate network of drainage including Browns Cr and Dry Cr, reflecting the high-plains topography typical of north-central Kansas.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including the Jewell Cem just west of town, the East Buffalo Cem to the northeast, and the Union Cem to the southwest. The map preserves the rural section-line road system, such as Sand Rd and H Rd, which has historically dictated the movement of goods and people between family farmsteads in the t4s r8w and t4s r7w townships.
