2009 Map of Traer

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through the heart of this northwestern Kansas landscape, providing a primary topographical anchor for the small settlement of Traer. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the creek and the grid-like organization of rural roads such as Co RD 465 and Co RD 314. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the presence of Traer Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery offers significant points of interest, anchoring the map's geography to the area's social history. The map illustrates a sparse, agricultural environment where the built environment is limited to small clusters of structures and a network of county roads that navigate the subtle changes in elevation near the watercourse.
