2009 Map of Lucerne

About this map

Lucerne sits on the northern edge of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of drainage channels. The Lucerne Cemetery remains a primary landmark for genealogists and local historians, serving as a quiet anchor for the community. The terrain is defined by the sinuous paths of Bow Creek and its tributary, South Bow Creek, which dominate the central portion of the sheet. Further south, the map reveals a series of parallel waterways including Antelope Creek, Keys Creek, and Stoner Creek. This 2009 U.S. Geological Survey update provides a detailed look at the rural road grid and drainage patterns that have dictated the settlement and agricultural layout of this Kansas region for generations.
