2018 Map of Lorraine

About this map

Lorraine sits at the heart of this Central Kansas landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural sections in western Ellsworth County. The area is defined by its drainage systems, with Turkey Cr and Oxide Cr flowing south toward the border between Ellsworth and Rice Counties. Significant for family historians and genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial sites including the Henry Family Cem in the north and both the Baptist Cem and Lorraine Cem closer to the town center. The township and range lines, such as t17s r9w, reveal the structured grid of the Public Land Survey System that governs the placement of local thoroughfares like Wichita Ave and 2nd Ave. To the southwest, Plum Cr meanders near a series of large industrial or agricultural basins, illustrating the local land use and resource management of the late 2010s.
