2018 Map of Sainte Theresa Church

About this map

The high plains along the Greeley County and Wichita County line are defined by a sparse but precise network of section-line roads and scattered landmarks of the agricultural community. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape where long-standing rural institutions like the Saint Theresa Cem and Pearl Cem serve as primary anchors for local history and genealogy. The terrain is marked by gradual elevation changes and drainage patterns such as those along Four Mile Rd. The map provides a meticulous record of the township and range system, including t17s r39w and t17s r38w, illustrating how the land was partitioned for homesteading and farming in this western Kansas region.
