About this map

Mulberry Creek winds through this rural section of Cloud County, defining the drainage patterns across the townships of Aurora, Colfax, and Shirley. The landscape is primarily agricultural, punctuated by essential community landmarks such as Sulphur Springs Ch and Carmel Sch. These locations serve as key indicators of the mid-20th-century social fabric in this region, where small schools and country churches anchored the scattered farming population. The topography also reveals industrial traces like the Gravel Pit and several Pipelines cutting across the terrain, reflecting the modernization of local infrastructure. To the north and west, East Branch Elm Creek provides additional relief to the rolling prairie, marking the boundaries for Nelson and Starr townships.
