2022 Map of Narka

About this map

Narka sits at the heart of this Republic County landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the rural character of Northern Kansas. The town is oriented around the intersection of Main St and Cottonwood St, surrounded by a network of sectional roads like Elm Rd and Granite Rd. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the surrounding townships, including Maple Grove Cem to the northwest, Ida Cem to the west, and National Cem to the southeast. The terrain is shaped by several watercourses that carve through the agricultural fields, most notably Humphrey Br, Cherry Cr, Elm Cr, and the N Fork Mill Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent layout of Kansas farm country, where creek drainages and section-line roads dictate the placement of rural homesteads and legacy landmarks.
