2018 Map of Toronto NE

About this map

Turkey Creek and its smaller tributaries carve through the sectioned plains of Woodson County, revealing a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent grid of rural Kansas, where roads like 190th Rd and 180th Rd trace the edges of section lines established generations ago. For those tracing family histories or early settlement patterns, the map preserves the location of two rural burial grounds: Nickletown Cem in the north and Askren Cem further south near 175th Rd. These sites, along with the meandering paths of N Owl Cr and Sandy Cr, provide a contemporary look at a deeply traditional agricultural region where the drainage patterns of the Flint Hills fringe still dictate the placement of farms and crossings.
