2018 Map of Lost Springs

About this map

The small town of Lost Springs sits at the center of this rural landscape where the borders of Marion, Dickinson, and Morris Counties meet. A network of sectional roads like Wagonwheel Rd and Upland Rd defines the agricultural grid, interrupted only by the winding paths of local waterways including Lyon Cr and Kohls Cr. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent presence of early regional history through its marked burial grounds, such as the Swedish Mission Cem to the east and the Lost Springs Cem near the town site. The map captures the quiet character of the Kansas prairie, showing how the landscape is segmented into townships and ranges like t17s r4e, while the headwaters of numerous creeks—including Sixmile Cr and Middle Cr—drain the surrounding fields.
