2018 Map of Trousdale

About this map

Trousdale serves as the central settlement in this corner of the Kansas prairie, where the landscape is defined by the wandering path of Rattlesnake Cr. The terrain is marked by numerous depressions and wetlands typical of this region, particularly as the creek moves through the central and western sections of the quadrangle. The map captures a transition point where three counties—Edwards, Stafford, and Pratt—meet, showing the structured grid of rural roads like Co RD 36 and SW 150th Ave that facilitate agricultural transit. Genealogists will find historical interest in the locations of Prattsburg Cem and Hopewell Cem, which stand as quiet landmarks along the eastern boundary. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and land divisions of this rural landscape.
