2009 Map of Washington NW

About this map

Bohemian National Cemetery and Greenfield Cemetery sit as quiet landmarks in this rural landscape of northern Kansas, reflecting the cultural heritage and early settlement of Washington County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the central Salt Creek and the meandering Jones Creek, which have shaped the agricultural layout of the region. A rigid grid of gravel and dirt roads, such as Gypsum Rd and Heritage Rd, organizes the land into section-line tracts, while the path of Morrowville Blvd provides a key north-south artery. This 2009 survey shows a landscape almost entirely dedicated to cultivation and grazing, where the survival of small rural cemeteries and named drainage branches like Riddle Creek serves as the primary record of local geography and family history.
