About this map

Prairie Dog Creek and its tributary, the North Fork Prairie Dog Creek, carve a branching drainage pattern across this section of Rawlins County. The landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the High Plains sectional survey system, with county roads like Co RD 459 and Co RD CC following section lines that intersect the wandering creek beds.

Genealogists will find the Hawkeye Cemetery and Rexford Cemetery positioned at remote intersections, serving as the primary anchors of local history in an area dominated by expansive agricultural tracts. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring rural character of western Kansas, where the sparse placement of these burial grounds reflects the scattered settlement patterns of the high prairie.
