About this map

Milford Lake dominates the northern landscape of this 2009 quadrangle, its expansive waters held in place by the massive Milford Dam structure along the Republican River. The surrounding terrain of W Rolling Hill is marked by a transition from managed water resources and state park lands to the rural agriculture of Geary County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites that predate the reservoir's full development, including Alida Cemetery, Alida-Upland Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery. These landmarks, along with Good Hope Cemetery to the west, anchor the historical settlement patterns of the river valley. The infrastructure of the era is evidenced by a network of rural routes like Curtis Creek Rd and Hatchery Dr, reflecting the local focus on recreation and resource management near the reservoir shoreline.
