2012 Map of Twin Mound

About this map

Twin Mound rises above the rural landscape of Rooks County, serving as a prominent geographical marker for this section of north-central Kansas. This survey captures a quiet, sparsely settled prairie environment defined by its section-line roads and seasonal drainages. For genealogists and local historians, the map is anchored by small burial grounds that reflect the early settlement patterns of the region, including Survey Cem in the north and Johnson Cem further south. The namesake Twin Mound Cem lies near the central landmark, providing a point of reference for families tracing their ancestry in this part of the High Plains. The drainage patterns and road network shown here emphasize the agricultural character of the county in the early twenty-first century, preserving the placement of rural cemeteries that remain among the few named historical identifiers in the township.
