2012 Map of Osborne

About this map

The S Fork Solomon River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the city of Osborne. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic Kansas county seat, where the grid of city streets meets the expansive agricultural section lines of the surrounding plains. To the north and south, North Hill and South Hill provide modest topographic relief above the river valley. The map is a significant resource for those tracing local heritage, as it identifies several key burial sites including Osborne Cem, Bethany Center Cem, and Saint Aloysius Cem. Community life is centered around the Osborne County Fairgrounds and the Osborne Speedway, while the Osborne Municipal Airport and Shady Bend Golf Course mark the modern fringes of the town. Smaller tributaries like Covert Cr and Indian Cr feed into the river system, defining the drainage patterns across this north-central Kansas territory.
