2009 Map of Speed

About this map

The North Fork Solomon River meanders across this rural Phillips County landscape, carving a path through the agricultural plains just south of the small settlement of Speed. This 2009 survey illustrates a rigid grid of gravel and section-line roads, such as W Warrior Rd and W Victory Rd, which define the local geography and provide access to the area's family farms. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies two significant burial grounds: Belmont Cemetery in the north and Township Cemetery situated just west of the river's bend. Tributaries like Ash Creek and Wolf Creek feed into the Solomon River valley, marking the natural drainage patterns that have dictated settlement and land use in this part of Kansas for generations.
