2015 Map of Pratt SW

About this map

Sawyer serves as the primary community hub in this section of Pratt County, situated at the southern edge of a landscape defined by the drainage of Sand Cr and N Elm Cr. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Saratoga Cem in the north and Ellenwood Cem in the southeast, providing significant landmarks for genealogical research. The region's transport network is characterized by a precise grid of county roads and distinctive routes like Coats Cutoff Rd and Country Club Rd. This 2015 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and township structure of south-central Kansas, where the prairie is bisected by seasonal waterways such as Painter Cr and anchored by small, established settlements that have served as local focal points for generations.
