About this map

Verning Cemetery and Prairie Chapel Cemetery lie among the precisely gridded section lines of Stafford County, documenting the enduring footprint of rural communities in central Kansas. This landscape is defined by its agricultural order, where the intersection of US Hwy 50 and US Hwy 281 creates a primary transport axis through the plains. The presence of Leesburg Cemetery along the southern range lines hints at earlier settlement patterns now largely integrated into the surrounding farmsteads.

Water is a sparse but vital feature in this region, notably marked by the course of Peace Creek as it winds through the northeastern corner. Infrastructure such as the Stafford Municipal Airport and the remnants of the Old 50 Rd illustrate the evolution of travel from early regional pathways to modern aviation. The map preserves the exact placement of these landmarks against a backdrop of local roads like NE 30th St and SE 60th Ave, offering a clear view of the county's organization in the early 21st century.
