About this map

The Smolan community and the small settlement of Salemsborg serve as the primary landmarks in this agricultural region of Saline County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Middle Dry Cr and W Dry Cr, which move across a grid of section roads including W Salemsborg Rd and W Falun Rd. The terrain rises to the south at the Smoky Hill Buttes, providing a geographic contrast to the surrounding creek valleys.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved on this sheet, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the area. These include Smolan Cem, Salemsborg Cem, Faun Cem, and Rose Hill Cem. The map illustrates a strictly organized township and range system, where names like S Hohneck Rd and S Lightville Rd denote the long-standing transport network connecting isolated farmsteads and rural centers.
