2012 Map of Walker

About this map

Walker serves as the primary settlement hub in this section of Ellis County, where the historic route of Old US Hwy 40 parallels the modern interstate. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Big Cr and its tributaries, including N Fork Big Cr and Mud Cr, which carve through the plains. For local history researchers, the map identifies several significant burial sites that speak to the area’s pioneer heritage and religious foundations, such as Saint Anns Cem and Saint Boniface Cem. The grid-like road network is punctuated by Butterfield Trail Rd, a name that evokes the region’s legacy as a transit corridor. The southern portion of the quadrangle remains relatively open, anchored by the Winterset Cem and a network of rural routes like Grants Villa Rd and Norfolk Rd.
