About this map

Stone Cemetery stands as a central historical landmark within this agricultural landscape in Phillips County. The terrain is defined by the branching drainage systems of the Cedar Creek network, including West Middle Cedar Creek, East Middle Cedar Creek, and Middle Cedar Creek. These waterways dictate the subtle topography of the Kansas prairie, while a rigid grid of rural roads, such as E Buffalo Rd and E Hunter Rd, provides structure to the open countryside. This 2009 survey illustrates a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern where family history is tied to specific sections of land. The proximity of Rebecca Creek and Lost Creek to the established road network highlights how water and transportation have traditionally influenced local land use in this part of the state.
