2018 Map of Saint Francis SW

About this map

High plains topography and section-line roads characterize this portion of Cheyenne County, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Cherry Cr. This rural expanse is marked by a legacy of early community settlement, anchored by the Salem Lutheran Cem and the Salem Evangelical Cem. These sites reflect the spiritual and social foundations of the agricultural families who established themselves in the townships of t2s r41w and t3s r41w. The meticulous grid of county routes, including Co RD R and Co RD 7, illustrates the enduring Public Land Survey System that carved the Kansas prairie into manageable homesteads. The map captures a quiet, traditional corner of the state, where the presence of historic cemeteries provides the primary connection to the generations of residents who once worked these fields.
