2015 Map of Pretty Prairie SW

About this map

The North Fork Ninnescah River meanders through the northeastern corner of this Reno County landscape, a region defined by its structured section-line roads and prairie drainage. The rural character of the area is anchored by quiet landmarks of early settlement, most notably Sego Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. These burial grounds, alongside the network of local routes like Sun City Rd and Pretty Prairie Rd, offer critical points of reference for those researching the genealogy of the Kansas plains. Tributaries including Goose Cr, Silver Cr, and Wolf Cr carve subtle variations into the terrain, reflecting the natural hydrology that dictated farm placement and land use long before modern surveying. This map provides a clear view of the rural landscape as it existed in the mid-2010s, maintaining the grid established by the original land surveys.
