About this map

Lava Cem stands as a lonely marker in this High Plains landscape, situated near the intersection of several county lines in western Kansas. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the S Fork Solomon River in the north and the N Fork Smoky Hill River at the southern boundary, with the seasonal waters of Sand Cr cutting across the central plains. This 2022 survey captures the expansive rural grid of Sherman County, where it meets Thomas, Logan, and Wallace counties.

A network of section-line roads, including Co Rd 37 and Co Rd 33, reveals the enduring structure of the township and range system. The prominence of Fort Fox in the southern portion suggests a local landmark or topographical feature significant to the area's history. This map is particularly useful for researchers tracing family ties to the small rural burial grounds or the specific land divisions along the county borders.
