2015 Map of Stafford NW

About this map

Leesburg Cem and Prairie Chapel Cem sit among the section-line roads of central Kansas, marking the locations of earlier community focal points in Stafford County. This landscape is defined by the rigid Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Leesburg Rd and E Old Hwy 50 following the boundaries of t24s r12w and t24s r13w. The presence of the Stafford Municipal Airport highlights the mid-century infrastructure supporting the nearby agricultural centers. While much of the terrain is dedicated to large-scale farming, natural drainage is still evident along the winding courses of Peace Cr and Dooleyville Cr in the eastern portions of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the inclusion of Verning Cem near the northern border provides a specific point of reference for families settled in the area between St. John and Stafford.
