2009 Map of Turon

About this map

Turon serves as the central hub of this Kansas landscape, situated at the junction of a diagonal rail line and a grid of rural roads like Price St and Sun City Rd. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains settlement pattern, where small communities and family burial grounds are dispersed across the agricultural sections. Genealogists will find significant value in the placement of three distinct cemeteries: Neola Cemetery in the northwest, Turon Cemetery south of town, and Pleasant Valley Cemetery further southwest. To the southeast, the small settlement of Olcott sits near the banks of Silver Cr, while Wolf Creek meanders through the northeast. The landscape is defined by its precise section-line roads, including Castleton Rd and Boundary Rd, which trace the legacy of early land surveys and homesteading.
