2010 Map of Venango NW

About this map

Julesburg sits at the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where the braided channels of the South Platte River cut across the northwest corner. This 2010 survey illustrates the rigid section-line grid that organizes the agricultural territory of Sedgwick County, defined by an extensive network of numbered roads such as County Rd 32 and County Rd 30. The transition from the river valley to the higher tablelands is marked by seasonal drainages like Spring Creek, which meanders through the central southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local heritage, the Julesburg Cemetery is a prominent landmark situated just east of the main settlement, serving as a significant genealogical anchor for the region. The map captures a moment of modern rural infrastructure before further shifts in land use or water management affected the local hydrology and transport patterns.
