About this map

Woodham Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this portion of Sedgwick County, where the high plains landscape is defined by its agricultural utility and scattered rural institutions. During the early 1950s, the region saw a shift in community structure, as evidenced by several educational sites already noted as obsolete, including the Prairie View School and Westside School. Meanwhile, the Never Fail School remains a point of local activity amidst the section lines and windmills that dot the terrain. The topography is influenced by the Sand Draw drainage, which cuts through the undulating surface near several Gravel Pits, illustrating the local extraction and ranching economy characteristic of this Missouri River Basin development area.
