1978 Map of Ludell

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders across the northern plains of Rawlins County, providing the primary hydrological feature for this high-plains landscape. The small settlement of Ludell serves as a local hub, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad follows the low-lying valley floor. The map records several early burial sites, including Immanuel Cem and Ludell Cem, which are vital markers for local family history and genealogy. The surrounding terrain is divided into large townships such as Atwood, Ludell, Herndon, and Union, reflecting the systematic agricultural partitioning of the Kansas prairie. Industrial activity is indicated by several Sandpits and a Quarry, suggesting the extraction of local materials for road building and construction during the late 1970s.
