2012 Map of Susank

About this map

Susank and Stickney anchor this central Kansas landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply established through a network of section line roads such as Winterset Rd and S Co Line Rd. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways, including Sellens Cr and Landon Cr, which cut through the level plains. The map reveals the area's subterranean industry via the Templing Oil Field, a reminder of the region's long-standing reliance on petroleum extraction alongside farming. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds that speak to the lineage of early settlers, notably Cross Plains Cem, Michaels Cem, Schneider Cem, and Concordia Cem. These scattered landmarks provide essential points of reference for genealogists and historians tracing the families who established the small townships of Barton County.
