About this map

Sharon Springs serves as the primary hub of this Wallace County landscape, situated where Old Us Hwy 40 meets the local street grid. The settlement pattern reflects the importance of transport and water in the High Plains, with the town positioned just south of the Smoky Hill River. To the west, the smaller community of Sunland sits along the same highway corridor, while the Bussen Airport and Sharon Springs Cem provide essential local landmarks for family researchers.

The surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic drainage features such as Rattle Snake Gulch and the seasonal flows of Goose Cr and Eagletail Cr. A unique natural feature, Old Maid Pool, is located in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map details a network of rural routes, including Rocky Rd and Pebble Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and ranch lands that define this western Kansas region.
