2022 Map of Kimeo

About this map

Kimeo and Chepstow anchor this agricultural landscape in north-central Kansas, where the borders of Washington, Clay, and Riley counties converge. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Deadman Cr and N Fork Fancy Cr, with the latter winding through the eastern sections of the quadrangle. A strictly organized grid of rural roads, including evocatively named routes like Wagon Train Rd, Yankee Rd, and Victory Rd, facilitates the movement of goods and people across the high plains. For genealogists and local historians, Appleton Cem in the southwestern quadrant provides a specific point of interest within the sparsely populated townships. The map illustrates the persistence of small, named settlements and the enduring importance of water sources like W Fancy Cr in an environment shaped by section-line farming and long-established county boundaries.
