2009 Map of Sitka

About this map

Sitka serves as the focal point of this Clark County landscape, situated where the high plains are carved by the winding paths of Day Creek and Spring Creek. The map records a quiet agricultural era in western Kansas, defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and wide-open rangeland. Local history is anchored at the Saint Josephs and Highland Cemetery in the northwest, a significant site for genealogists tracking early families of the region. Transportation routes like Mt Jesus Rd and Sitka Rd navigate the drainage patterns of the creeks, illustrating how the natural topography continues to dictate the placement of rural infrastructure even in the 21st century. This survey provides a precise view of the settlement's footprint and the surrounding hydrology before further modern development.
