2016 Map of Lincoln NW

About this map

Prairie Grove Cem stands as a focal point for local history in this rural portion of north-central Kansas, where the borders of Mitchell Co and Lincoln Co meet. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of several watercourses, including the westward-flowing Battle Creek and the southern reaches of Rattlesnake Creek. This 2016 survey illustrates a strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as Ash Grove Rd and E Union Dr, which provide access to the vast agricultural sections and scattered homesteads. These drainage systems, including Little Timber Creek and Rock Creek, have long dictated the placement of farms and cemeteries across the townships of t10s r8w and t9s r7w. The map preserves the exact alignment of section lines and gravel routes used by generations of farming families in the region.
