About this map

Nekoma serves as the central hub of this Rush County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding courses of the Western Kansas plains. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Walnut Cr, which is joined by several tributaries including the distinctive Old Maids Fork. These waterways cut through the section lines, creating a varied topography that dictates the placement of rural infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the townships. From Abbey Cem in the northwest to Union Cem and Hope Cem in the south, these sites mark the long-standing settlement patterns of the region. The map meticulously details the rural road network, from major connectors like CR 175 and CR 180 to the systematic grid of avenues such as Ave Q and Ave T that define the high plains economy.
