2022 Map of Jewell SW

About this map

Atkins Union Cem and Star Cem stand as quiet landmarks along the northern reaches of this rural Kansas landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of south-flowing drainage systems, including Browns Cr, Dog Cr, and Mulberry Cr, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural sections. Straddling the boundary between Jewell Co and Mitchell Co, the area preserves a highly organized section-line road network with alphabetical and numerical designations such as A Rd and 260 Rd. For genealogists, the distribution of local burial sites like Glendale Cem and Browns Creek Cem provides essential points of reference for early families who settled these townships. The map illustrates the persistent rhythm of Great Plains land division, where small cemeteries and seasonal creeks remain the primary features of the open countryside.
