2018 Map of Norcatur

About this map

Norcatur serves as the central hub of this High Plains landscape, straddling the border between Decatur and Norton counties. The settlement is defined by a traditional grid of streets including N Decatur Ave, E Olathe St, and S Detroit Ave. Beyond the residential core, the terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Prairie Dog Cr in the south and the winding paths of Plum Cr and Long Br to the west. This 2018 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure built upon a meticulous section-line road network, where routes like Rd W-15 and Co Rd 509 connect isolated agricultural parcels. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two distinct burial sites: Norcatur Cem north of town and Clayton Cem situated near the southern county line, providing fixed points for tracing family ties in this corner of Northwest Kansas.
