About this map

New Almelo and the western edge of Lenora anchor this rural landscape in Norton County, where the agricultural grid of the High Plains is bisected by the North Fork Solomon River. The river and its tributaries, including Coon Creek and Marsh Creek, create a dendritic pattern across the section lines, defining the drainage of the northern Kansas territory. These waterways historically guided the placement of early settlements and road networks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Joseph Cemetery near the community of New Almelo and the Lenora South Cemetery on the outskirts of Lenora. The presence of the Lenora Municipal Airfield near the northern boundary reflects the modern connectivity of this primarily agrarian region, while named local routes like Goddard Rd and Rd W 12 establish the transport corridors between farmsteads.
