About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders across this rural Ellis County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its German-Russian heritage and agricultural layout. The settlement of Schoenchen sits just south of the river, where local history is preserved at Saint Anthony Cemetery. Further south, the town of Liebenthal is positioned along Main St, serving as another focal point for the community with its own Saint Joseph Cemetery.

The terrain is marked by distinctive drainages such as Lookout Hollow in the north and Hungry Hollow in the southeast, while Big Timber Creek cuts through the southern plains. The road network follows a strict section-line grid, featuring named routes like Chetolah Gold Rd and Schoenchen Rd. This 2009 survey illustrates a landscape of enduring small-town structures and cemetery sites that are vital for genealogical research in this part of Kansas.
