2010 Map of Stockholm Cemetery

About this map

Stockholm Cemetery sits as a solitary landmark within the expansive agricultural grid of western Kansas. This portion of Greeley County is defined by the ephemeral path of South Fork Middle Ladder Creek, which meanders through the section lines in an otherwise strictly surveyed landscape. The road network follows a rigid pattern, with routes such as Thirteen Mile Rd and several county roads like Co Rd 7 and Co Rd 9 providing the primary infrastructure for this ranching and farming region. The layout of these section-line roads, including Rd Wa W-A and Rd Wa S-7, illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the High Plains, where the occasional cemetery or creek bed serves as the only break in the geometric regularity of the prairie.
