2009 Map of Nickerson

About this map

Nickerson serves as the focal point of this Kansas landscape, situated near the north bank of the Arkansas River. The town's grid is oriented diagonally, paralleling the path of Railroad Rd and RR St, reflecting the influence of the rail corridor on the settlement's early geometry. To the northwest, Wildmead Cemetery stands as a local landmark for genealogical research. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding paths of Cow Creek and Bull Creek, which traverse the prairie and intersect a strictly maintained section-line road network that includes N Nickerson Rd and Riverton Rd. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the town's footprint as it was at the close of the decade, showing the proximity of the local watercourses like Dry Creek to the outlying residential and agricultural tracts.
