2015 Map of Jewell SW

About this map

Jewell and Mitchell counties divide this agricultural landscape in North Central Kansas, where a systematic grid of section roads like A Rd and 260 Rd overlays a network of winding creek beds. This 2015 survey reveals the persistence of early rural community centers through its documented cemeteries. Fairview Cem appears in both the northwest and southwest portions of the map, while Star Cem and Glendale Cem mark other quiet corners of the townships. The drainage of the land is defined by the wandering paths of Plum Cr, Mulberry Cr, and Browns Cr, which cut through the surveyed sections, creating the only breaks in the strictly geometric road and field patterns of the plains.
