2015 Map of Soldier

About this map

The town of Soldier serves as a primary local hub in this rural landscape along the northern edge of Jackson County. Situated near the winding course of Soldier Cr, the settlement is defined by a traditional grid including Friend St, with the Soldier Cem located just to the north. The map documents a sparsely populated agricultural region during the early 21st century, where section roads such as 270th Rd and 278th Rd connect isolated homesteads and small communities. To the north and east, the small settlements of Bancroft and Ontario remain visible markers of local history near the boundary of Nemaha County. Waterways like Mosquito Cr and Elk Cr drain the undulating terrain, which is primarily organized around long-standing township and range lines. Genealogists and historians will find the exact placement of cemeteries and surviving village footprints valuable for tracing the 2015 layout of this corner of Kansas.
