2012 Map of Reamsville

About this map

Agricultural lands in Smith County, Kansas, are defined by a network of north-flowing prairie streams. The settlements of Thornburg and Reamsville serve as central points for this rural landscape, connected by a grid of section-line roads like Thornburg Rd and Co Rd-629. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous waterways, including Iowa Creek and Bull Creek, which drain the open country. Local heritage is preserved in quiet landmarks such as Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Eminence Cemetery, which sit among the fields near the headwaters of East Beaver Creek and the various branches of West Branch Troublesome Creek. This survey captures the enduring rural character of North Central Kansas, where the arrangement of farmsteads and cemeteries follows the original township and range surveys that structured the High Plains.
