About this map

Pawnee Rock stands as a prominent landmark on this central Kansas landscape, marking a site deeply tied to the history of the Santa Fe Trail. The settlement of Dundee occupies the eastern portion of the map, situated along a transportation corridor that parallels the Arkansas River. This river valley, supported by tributaries like Ash Cr, forms the primary geographic orientation for the region's agricultural layout, evidenced by the dense network of rural roads such as W Barton Co Rd and Coline Rd.

Family history researchers will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Rockville Cem, Bergthal Mennonite Cem, and Dundee Valley Cem. The map also illustrates the meeting point of three counties — Barton, Pawnee, and Stafford — near the southwestern corner. In the northeast, the presence of the Great Bend Municipal Airport reflects the continued infrastructure development surrounding the nearby county seat.
