2022 Map of Pratt SW

About this map

Sawyer serves as the primary hub of this rural Pratt County landscape, situated at a major crossroads in the southern portion of the survey. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of several waterways, including Sand Cr, Painter Cr, and N Elm Cr, which dictate the local topography. For those researching family history or regional heritage, the map is remarkably dense with cemeteries, documenting several distinct burial sites such as Saratoga Cem, Ludwick Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Ellenwood Cem. This distribution of rural cemeteries suggests a pattern of historic family farmsteads and established country communities that have long characterized this part of the Kansas wheat belt. The grid of roads, from S 1st Ave to Coats Cutoff Rd, illustrates a highly organized agricultural network typical of the plains.
