2015 Map of Nekoma

About this map

Nekoma serves as the central hub of this Rush County landscape, where the agricultural grid is etched into the terrain through an extensive network of range roads including Ave Q and CR 180. The drainage of the High Plains is clearly defined by the winding course of Walnut Cr as it flows eastward through the northern sections, joined further south by the dendritic patterns of Old Maids Fork and Sandy Cr. These waterways create natural breaks in the geometric section lines that define local land ownership and transit. For those tracing the history of the local community, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Abbey Cem to the west, Union Cem centrally located near the creek forks, and Hope Cem in the southeastern corner. The transition from northern township t18s r19w to the southern t19s r19w reflects the orderly division of the Kansas prairie, punctuated only by the intermittent stream beds of Otter Cr.
