About this map

The rolling plains of the High Plains intersect at the meeting point of four Kansas counties: Phillips, Smith, Rooks, and Osborne. This landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Medicine Cr and Crooked Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by its scattered burial grounds, including the Bohemian Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem. The grid of section roads, such as E Big Bear Rd and Co Line Rd, overlays the terrain, highlighting the organized settlement patterns characteristic of the region. Local history researchers can trace the placement of early homestead infrastructure, from the Ash Rock Cem in the south to the Spring Branch Cem near the borders of Rooks and Osborne counties.
