2018 Map of Long Draw South

About this map

Lone Star Cem and Saint Patrick Cem are located in the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, marking the enduring presence of early families in Rawlins County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Sappa Cr and the S Fork Sappa Cr, whose drainage patterns have carved the subtle topography of the Kansas prairie. In the southern portion of the survey, the Cumberland Cem sits near the border of Thomas County, serving as a quiet landmark amidst a grid of rural section roads. The map reveals the classic township and range system that organized this agricultural region, highlighting the deep-seated reliance on local creek systems for water and navigation through the wide-open expanse of the Long Draw valley.
