2012 Map of Vincent

About this map

Vincent and Cheyenne anchor this rural landscape in Osborne County, illustrating the enduring grid of North Central Kansas. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Fourmile Cr, Coon Cr, and Wolf Cr, with the prominent Cheyenne Gap providing a natural break in the topography. For genealogists, the presence of three distinct burial grounds—Vincent Cem, Cheyenne Cem, and Potterville Cem—suggests a history of dispersed small communities that coalesced around these rural hubs. The road network, including N Co Line Rd and W 270th Dr, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, characteristic of the state's agricultural development. This survey reflects the modern rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
