2018 Map of Tribune NW

About this map

Rodgers Cem and Mathews Cem stand as quiet landmarks in this high plains landscape of western Kansas, where the rectilinear geometry of section lines and county roads dictates the movement of people and livestock. This part of Greeley County is defined by the expansive township and range system, specifically within t18s r42w, t18s r41w, t19s r42w, and t19s r41w. The map preserves the names of Walkinghood and Astor, small settlements linked by a network of gravel routes including Co RD O and Co RD P. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage depressions and livestock ponds that break the steady elevation of the prairie. The sheer number of designated county roads, such as Co RD 6 and Co RD 919, illustrates the methodical division of land for agricultural use in this modern era.
