2012 Map of Kirwin

About this map

Kirwin serves as the primary hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, positioned just north of the Kirwin Reservoir and the winding course of the N Fork Solomon River. The settlement pattern follows a grid established by local routes such as E Main ST and S 1st ST, while the rural outskirts are defined by an extensive network of creeks, including Middle Cedar Cr and W Cedar Cr, which feed the river valley. To the east, the smaller community of Claudell sits along the roadway, illustrating the persistent agricultural hamlets that dot Phillips County. Genealogists may find interest in the Olive Branch Cem located to the north, a solitary landmark in a region dominated by drainage basins and prairie land. The geography is characterized by the convergence of several waterways like Medicine Cr and Deer Cr, which together shape the local hydrology and the development of transportation corridors across the plains.
