2015 Map of Timken

About this map

Timken serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Rush County, situated along the northern banks of Walnut Cr. The mapping reflects a classic Great Plains section-line grid, where roads like Ave P and CR 320 define the boundaries of large farming plots. Cultural and genealogical markers are sparse but significant, including the Holy Cross Cem south of the main settlement and the Bohemian Cem further into the rural sections. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Sand Cr and the larger Dry Walnut Cr, which carve subtle topography into the otherwise systematic land divisions. This survey captures the enduring character of a small Kansas prairie town and its surrounding township structures.
