About this map

The Solomon River meanders across the southern plains of this region, shaping the local geography near the border of Mitchell and Cloud Counties. The small community of Asherville sits north of the river, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its rural road network and scattered historical sites. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it clearly identifies several smaller burial grounds including Bell Bogardus Cem, McBride Cem, and the West Asher Cem.

Drainage systems like Asher Cr, Lost Cr, and Fourth Cr feed into the river, creating a complex series of draws and ridges across the sections. The map traces the grid of county roads, such as Asherville Rd and Iron Rd, which connect these agricultural hubs to the neighboring town of Simpson. The detailed contour lines illustrate the subtle elevation changes that define this portion of north-central Kansas.
