2015 Map of Selden NE

About this map

High plains creek valleys define this portion of Decatur County, where the S Fork Sappa Cr and Prairie Dog Cr carve drainage patterns across the Kansas landscape. The area is characterized by a sparse grid of rural roads, including Co RD 352 and 950 RD, connecting scattered sites of local heritage. This 2015 survey reveals a history of religious and community life through the presence of the Lund Church and its adjacent Lund Church Cem. The distribution of burial sites, such as the Mennonite Cem and the Shibboleth Cem in the southeastern corner, provides a window into the settlement patterns and genealogy of the early farming families who managed these townships. Water remains a central feature, with Big Timber Cr and the N Fork Prairie Dog Cr winding through the terrain, indicating the vital importance of natural drainages to the local agricultural economy.
