2018 Map of Turon

About this map

Turon sits as a central hub at the intersection of a sprawling road network and rail line in this South Central Kansas landscape. The area is defined by its agrarian structure, with section lines marked by routes like Castleton Rd and Pretty Prairie Rd. Genealogical interest is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Neola Cem in the northwest, Turin Cem just west of the main settlement, and Pleasant Valley Cem to the southwest. The terrain is subtly drained by Wolf Cr and Silver Cr, which wind through the prairie sections. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where three county boundaries—Stafford, Pratt, and Reno—converge amidst a grid of established family-named roads and remote agricultural outposts.
