2018 Map of Smolan

About this map

Smolan and Salemsborg anchor this Saline County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of country roads including W Smolan Rd and S Burma Rd. The terrain is shaped by the drainage of W Dry Cr and Middle Dry Cr, which weave through the section lines toward the more prominent Smoky Hill Buttes in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local families, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of multiple burial grounds, such as Smolan Cem, Salemsborg Cem, Falun Cem, and Rose Hill Cem, which sit alongside the township's primary intersections. The area's settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural community, where the placement of small-town centers and cemeteries among the surrounding farms has remained largely consistent since the early 20th century.
