2018 Map of Selden SW

About this map

The Hawkeye Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical interest in this rural landscape, situated near the intersection of several county lines in northwest Kansas. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by the headwaters of the N Fork Prairie Dog Cr and Prairie Dog Cr, which carve a network of draws and ridges through the high plains. The map captures the meeting point of four counties: Rawlins Co, Decatur Co, Sheridan Co, and Thomas Co. The land is organized by a precise grid of rural routes, including Co RD 459 and Co RD Ee, illustrating the enduring sectional survey system that dictates the placement of farms and cemeteries in the region. This document is essential for those tracing the agricultural development and land ownership patterns where these four counties converge.
