About this map

Hawkeye Cem sits in the northwestern portion of this 2015 survey, marking a quiet point of local history where four Kansas counties—Rawlins, Decatur, Thomas, and Sheridan—converge. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Prairie Dog Cr and its N Fork Prairie Dog Cr, which cut through the high plains terrain.

A network of rural roads, including Co RD 459 and RD 130 N, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the enduring grid-based organization of the American Midwest. This map provides a clear view of the agricultural land divisions and the sparse but deliberate placement of homesteads and burial grounds in a region where the vastness of the geography is punctuated primarily by these essential rural connections.
