2018 Map of Rush Center SE

About this map

Vaughn sits atop the high plains of Central Kansas, marking a quiet settlement transition between the borders of Rush and Pawnee counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of several intermittent streams, most notably the meandering paths of Ash Cr in the east and Cocklebur Cr to the southwest. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain organized by the Public Land Survey System, where section lines and local thoroughfares like Ave X dictate the rural layout. The absence of dense development highlights the area's agricultural character, preserved in a network of township and range boundaries that have governed this prairie region for generations.
