About this map

West Hope Cem sits quietly in the southern reaches of this survey, marking the intersection of local family history and the rural prairie landscape of Phillips and Rooks Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Jim Cr, its eastern branch, E Br Jim Cr, and the appropriately named Hungry Hollow. These seasonal waterways carve through the township sections, creating a rolling topography that dictates the placement of the grid-based road system.

Agricultural and recreational life in north-central Kansas is evident through features like Catfish Cove and roads with evocative names such as E Day Dream RD and E Cozy Cove RD. The boundary between townships and counties is strictly maintained by Co Line Rd, which separates the northern rangelands from the southern creek valleys. This map illustrates the persistent structure of Kansas land divisions, where historical cemeteries and water-carved coulees remain the primary landmarks across the open plains.
