2009 Map of Trousdale

About this map

Trousdale serves as the primary hub of this rural Kansas landscape, situated amidst a highly structured grid of county roads and agricultural land. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Rattlesnake Creek, which meanders through the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, providing a sharp contrast to the straight-line geometry of the surrounding section roads. This survey, compiled from imagery and data between 2005 and 2008, illustrates the enduring spatial organization of Edwards County's farming communities. Genealogists and local historians will find the Prattsburg Cemetery in the northeastern corner, an important landmark for tracing family roots in the region. The map captures the area's transition into the early 21st century, showing how modern transportation routes like Co Rd 36 and Co Rd 53 integrate with the natural drainage patterns of the creek.
