2012 Map of Washington NW

About this map

Greenfield Cem sits along the section lines of this agricultural landscape in Washington County, north of the Little Blue River basin. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of section roads including Heritage Rd, Indian Rd, and Liberty Rd, reflecting the long-term impact of the Public Land Survey System on Kansas settlement. This rural expanse is drained by a network of north-flowing tributaries such as Riddle Cr, Salt Cr, and Jones Cr. While primarily an open landscape of farms and fields, the map documents the modern transit corridor of State Hwy 15 W and the local importance of Morrowville Blvd in connecting these remote homesteads. Genealogists and local historians can trace the intersection of early 20th-century road names with the natural topography of Gray Br and Devils Cr.
