About this map

The Little Congregational Cemetery sits as a quiet landmark in this rural expanse of Meade County, Kansas, marking a point of rest in a landscape defined by its grid of country roads and seasonal watercourses. Situated near the southern border of the quadrangle, the cemetery serves as a vital focal point for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in this corner of the High Plains.

The terrain is carved by the drainages of Sand Creek and Twomile Creek, which snake through the prairie. The transportation network is strictly utilitarian, composed of a series of intersecting routes such as Y Rd, X Rd, and 24 Rd. These roads facilitate the movement between isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of the American West as it appeared in the early 21st century.
