About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds in tight, serpentine loops across this Dickinson County landscape, defining the southern geography of the region. This 2009 survey highlights the town of Solomon, where the street grid meets the historic alignment of Old Hwy 40. This road, along with the newer interstate corridor, parallels the ancient river valley, illustrating a long-standing transportation corridor across the Kansas prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Prairie Mound Cemetery on the western edge of town and the landmark King Solomon Camp to the north. Smaller settlements and geographic points like Sand Spring near the river and Buckeye Creek to the northwest provide specific location data for family researchers. The map clearly delineates the section-line road system, from Solomon Rd to the numbered avenues like 2700 Ave, which organize the agricultural land surrounding the river's floodplain.
