2021 Map of Plankinton

About this map

Plankinton serves as the focal point of this Aurora County landscape, characterized by a traditional grid of streets like N Main St and E Commerce St. As the county seat, the town is anchored by the Aurora County Courthouse, which stands near the heart of the community's residential and commercial blocks. The surrounding prairie is defined by a rigorous section-line road system, including 386th Ave and 253rd St, which connects several local burial grounds that provide significant genealogical value, such as Mizpah Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and the larger Plankinton Cem. To the east, the terrain yields to natural water features like Fish Lake, while the headwaters of Enemy Cr meander through the southern sections. This survey captures the town and its agricultural surroundings in the early 21st century, showing the enduring structure of the Great Plains' rural and civic organization.
