About this map

Seward County’s rural character is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel paths, where the High Plains landscape is punctuated only by occasional clusters of trees and remote burial grounds. The agricultural order of the region is mapped through named thoroughfares like Cotton Rd and Road N, which link the vast acreage of township divisions such as t31s r32w and t32s r33w. For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks provide vital links to the area's pioneer heritage, including Banner Cem in the north and the Mennonite Cem to the southeast. Near the western edge of the quadrangle, Springfield Cem sits as a quiet marker of a community within this expansive prairie territory. The naming convention of the lateral roads, such as 22 Mile Rd and 17 Mile Rd, reflects the methodical surveying used to organize this portion of southwest Kansas.
