2015 Map of Sitka

About this map

Sitka serves as the primary focal point of this southwestern Kansas landscape, situated near the intersection of several local routes. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Day Cr and Spring Cr, which carve through the open plains and contribute to the area's agricultural character. Genealogists will find the Saint Josephs and Highland Cem in the northwestern quadrant, a significant site for tracing family histories in Clark County. The map provides a clear picture of the modern rural road network, including Sitka Rd and numerous county routes like CR 24 and CR U, which follow the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. This interplay between the natural drainage of the creeks and the rectilinear section lines illustrates the persistent influence of 19th-century land management on the contemporary landscape.
