2019 Map of Palmer

About this map

Palmer and the surrounding Ellis County countryside are defined by a network of creeks and drainage basins that have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. The central corridor is dominated by Red Oak Cr and Grove Cr, which wind through the landscape alongside established transportation routes. Local family histories are anchored by several small burial grounds including Douglas Cem, Prude Hyde Cem, and the Smith Cem, preserving the names of early settlers in the region.
