2009 Map of Waldron

About this map

Waldron sits at the southern edge of this Kansas landscape, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and the meandering courses of Sandy Creek and Plum Creek. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small clusters like Ruella and Shook marking the rural intersections of Harper County. For those tracing family histories, three burial grounds are prominent across the quadrangle: Goss Cemetery to the north, Ferguson Cemetery in the center, and Waldron Cemetery just east of its namesake town. The Krider railroad line cuts through the southern portion of the map, signifying the importance of rail transport in moving goods from these prairie outposts. This 2009 survey reflects a landscape that has maintained its pastoral character, where the intersection of section lines like SW 60 RD and SW 80 Ave dictate the local geography.
