2012 Map of Timken

About this map

Timken serves as the focal point of this Rush County landscape, where the local road network is defined by routes like Timken Rd and S Railroad Ave. The area is deeply rooted in its pioneer heritage, evidenced by the presence of the Bohemian Cem and Holy Cross Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Kansas. The terrain is structured around a network of intermittent waterways, most notably Walnut Cr and its tributaries, Dry Walnut Cr and Sand Cr. These drainage patterns shaped the placement of farmsteads and the orientation of section lines. This 2012 survey captures the persistent rural character of the region, illustrating the intersection of established agriculture and the small-town infrastructure of the Timken community.
