2015 Map of Logan SE

About this map

Logan City Lake sits in the northern reaches of this rural landscape where the borders of Phillips, Graham, and Rooks counties converge. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Bow Cr and Sand Cr, which carve through the high plains of north-central Kansas. This 2015 survey reveals a strictly organized grid of township and range lines, typical of the Homestead Act's legacy, where section roads bear evocative names like W Big Bear Rd and W Cozy Cove Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Prairie Dale Cem provides a specific point of reference for the families who settled this agricultural region. The map also documents the unique nomenclature of the rural road system, including the whimsical W Day Dream Rd and W Early Eve Rd, which follow the section boundaries across the undulating prairie.
