2009 Map of La Crosse NW

About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders across the northern portion of this Ellis County landscape, defining the local hydrology alongside Big Timber Creek in the south. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a traditional section-line grid of rural roads, including S County Line Rd and Schoenchen Rd, which facilitate movement through the agricultural interior. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies two significant landmarks: Cordia Cemetery and Nickel Cemetery. These sites provide specific points of interest for family research within a terrain largely shaped by these waterways and the intersecting paths of named thoroughfares like Yocemento Ave and 200th Ave.
