2015 Map of Stuttgart

About this map

Stuttgart serves as the central hub of this northern Kansas landscape, where the prairie is etched by an intricate network of waterways. The settlement is anchored by the Emmanuel Lutheran Cem, a significant landmark for those tracing local family lineages in Phillips County. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous creeks, including Deer Cr, Starvation Cr, and Boughton Cr, which carve through the undulating plains. A rigid grid of section roads, with alphabetical and numerical designations such as W Jade Rd and W 700 Rd, provides the primary structure for the agricultural operations and homesteads that have defined this region for generations. This survey illustrates how the environment and human settlement patterns are deeply intertwined, with farmsteads positioned relative to the seasonal flows of Bissell Cr and Ash Cr.
