About this map

The Solomon River meanders through this north-central Kansas landscape, defining the rural character of the borderlands between Ottawa, Saline, and Dickinson Counties. The small community of Niles sits along the northern banks, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural grid. Further south, the town of Solomon occupies the junction near where the river approaches its confluence with the Smoky Hill River.

Tracing the section lines reveals a network of namesake roads such as N Gypsum Valley Rd and N Jasper Rd, alongside historic transit corridors like E Old Hwy 40. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Greenville Cem north of Niles and the Mount Calvary Cem on the outskirts of Solomon. The terrain is further etched by smaller waterways, including Buckeye Cr and Coal Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.
