2010 Map of Seward

About this map

Seward serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Stafford County, where a strict section-line road grid defines the rural character. The settlement layout is anchored by 1st St, 5th St, and 8th St, while the surrounding prairie is partitioned by routes such as NW 200th St and NW 60th Ave. This organization reflects the enduring Homestead-era survey patterns that shaped Kansas farming communities. Genealogists can locate two significant burial grounds that speak to the area's early settlement history: Eden Valley Cemetery to the northeast and Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery positioned near the center of the quadrangle. The map documents a landscape of dispersed farmsteads and open spaces, where the orientation of every road and property line adheres to the cardinal directions of the original public land surveys.
