2012 Map of Piedmont SW

About this map

Elk River and its various tributaries define this corner of Elk County, showing a landscape shaped by the branching waters of the S Br Elk River, Rowe Br Elk River, and S Br Otter Cr. The geography is organized by a strictly defined grid of rural township roads and numbered routes, such as Twp Hwy 512 and Crisco Rd, which segment the terrain into agricultural parcels. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern layout of these thoroughfares, including the uniquely named Quail road. For local history and genealogy, the presence of the Forest Cem provides a specific point of interest for researchers tracing family ties to this rural Kansas prairie. The map captures the subtle drainage patterns where the river bends and meets smaller branches, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region.
