2012 Map of Ulysses NW

About this map

Shockey Cem sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians in this portion of Grant County. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral courses of Bear Ck and Wolf Cr, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the agricultural grid. This 2012 survey illustrates the highly organized section-line road system characteristic of western Kansas, where routes like N Road C and W Road 8 facilitate the movement of equipment and grain. A curious break in the numeric naming convention appears with the short segment of Easy St near the center of the sheet. The map documents the enduring infrastructure of a rural farming township, where the placement of cemeteries and the management of creek beds remain the most significant landmarks on the horizon.
