About this map

Cimarron River winds through the northern and eastern portions of this southwestern Kansas landscape, carving a valley that defines the local topography. This 2018 survey documents the rural boundary where Seward Co and Meade Co meet, a region characterized by expansive section lines and a network of gravel routes such as River Rd and Co Rd S. The terrain transitions from flat agricultural uplands to the etched breaks of Wolf Canyon in the southeast corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Biller Cem centrally located along Co Rd 4, serving as a primary cultural landmark in an otherwise sparsely populated area. The map illustrates the contemporary land use patterns of the High Plains, showing how modern roads like Co Rd Zero (0) and Co Rd 5 maintain the grid system established over a century ago while accommodating the natural course of the river.
