2018 Map of Rome

About this map

Attebery Cem sits centrally within this Sumner County landscape, a marker of early families amidst a dense network of sectional roads and watercourses. The drainage patterns of the region are exceptionally clear, defined by the various branches of Shoo Fly Creek, including W Shoo Fly Cr, Middle Shoo Fly Cr, and E Shoo Fly Cr which flow southward toward the Oklahoma border. To the northeast, the outskirts of Wellington begin to appear near the confluence of Slate Cr and Hargis Cr. The map reveals a strictly organized agricultural grid, with primary north-south arteries like S Maize Rd and S Hoover Rd providing access to the vast acreage between intermittent stream beds like Spring Cr and Antelope Cr. This survey illustrates the enduring intersection of systematic township planning and the natural riparian geography of the southern Kansas plains.
