2012 Map of Lucerne

About this map

Lucerne sits at the northern edge of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains are carved by a dense network of seasonal drainages. The map records a quiet agricultural era defined by the winding course of Bow Cr and its many tributaries, including S Bow Cr and Antelope Cr. This drainage system creates a broken topography that dictates the placement of rural roads and homesteads across the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Lucerne Cem just west of the town site, a primary landmark for tracing early families in this part of Kansas. The infrastructure is minimal, centered on a grid of section-line roads like Co RD-380, which connects the scattered farmsteads to the broader region during the early twenty-first century.
