About this map

Saxman sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Rice County, where the transition between prairie and cultivated land is defined by a network of drainage creeks and straight section-line roads. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Jarvis Cr and Cow Cr, which cut through the grid of avenues and numbered roads that organize the rural space. Near the center of the sheet, the Lodiana Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for local historians, while the Wherry Oil Field in the southern portion indicates the region's intersection with the energy industry. Small drainages like Dry Cr, Lone Tree Cr, and Sand Cr define the subtle topography, showing how water management and road construction have shaped the development of this Kansas heartland.
