2009 Map of Timken

About this map

Timken serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Rush County, where the local street grid is defined by Main St and S Railroad Ave. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where the enduring history of the community is anchored by the Holy Cross Cemetery and the Bohemian Cemetery, reflecting the area's heritage and lineage. The terrain is shaped by the wandering paths of Walnut Creek and its tributary, Dry Walnut Creek, which create a complex drainage network across the section lines. These watercourses, along with Sand Creek and Dry Creek, delineate the fertile bottomlands that have long supported the region's farming economy. The map's layout highlights the intersection of transportation corridors and natural waterways that continue to influence the settlement patterns of this central Kansas prairie.
