2015 Map of Long Draw South

About this map

S Fork Sappa Cr meanders across the high plains of northwest Kansas, cutting through the boundary between Rawlins and Thomas Counties. This area is characterized by a high density of rural cemeteries, such as Saint Patrick Cem, Lone Star Cem, and Cumberland Cem, which serve as permanent markers of early prairie settlement long after original homesteads have disappeared. The terrain is defined by the namesake Long Draw, a significant drainage feature that shapes the local topography north of the county line. A grid of rural roads, including Co RD 364 and Co RD 441, provides access to these isolated sites, reflecting the enduring township and range system that organized this agricultural landscape.
