2009 Map of Lost Springs

About this map

Lost Springs serves as the primary focal point in this central Kansas landscape, situated at the intersection of US Hwy 56 and Wagonwheel Rd. The area is characterized by a grid-like network of rural roads that traverse the drainage basins of Lyon Creek, Kohls Creek, and Clear Creek. To the west of the town center lies the Lost Springs Oil Field, signaling the area's industrial history. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Old Mission Cemetery and Hartke Cemetery, which are nestled among the agricultural fields. The terrain is defined by the subtle movement of several water bodies, including Lime Creek and the East Branch Clear Creek, which flow through the prairie, shaping the development of local farmsteads and transport routes such as Trail Rd.
