2018 Map of Utica SE

About this map

Prairie Chapel Cem stands as a central landmark in this Ness County landscape, marking a quiet point of reference amidst a sprawling agricultural grid. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of several watercourses, most notably the N Fork Walnut Cr which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet. Further north, the land is etched by Forrester Cr and the N Fork Forrester Cr, creating a drainage pattern that breaks the regularity of the section lines. This 2018 survey reveals a classic High Plains settlement pattern where modern roads like W 220 RD and 180 RD follow the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System, while the natural hydrology continues to dictate the subtle contours of the Kansas prairie.
