2015 Map of Liebenthal

About this map

Schoenchen and Liebenthal anchor this central Kansas landscape at the border of Ellis and Rush counties. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Smoky Hill River to the north and the drainage of Big Timber Cr to the south. Historically significant sites for genealogists include Saint Anthony Cem near the river bluffs and Saint Joseph Cem situated on the southern plains. The township-and-range grid is heavily developed with rural routes like Chetolah Gold Rd and Schoenchen Rd, reflecting a region deeply tied to agriculture and regional transport. Local landmarks such as Lookout Hollow and Hungry Hollow provide specific geographical identifiers for those researching 21st-century land use or family history in these rural communities.
