About this map

Westfall and the surrounding Lincoln County ranchlands are defined by a network of north-south and east-west roads that follow the township and range survey lines. The settlement of Westfall sits in the eastern portion of the map, connected to the broader region by Lincoln Ave and N 260th Rd. Small, isolated communities like Barton and Edalgo dot the northern landscape, reflecting the sparse rural development characteristic of this central Kansas region.

The hydrology of the area is shaped by several meandering watercourses, including West Elkhorn Creek and East Elkhorn Creek to the west, and Owl Creek which flows near the eastern border. Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial sites, such as Hammer Cemetery situated north of Grain Dr and Washam Cemetery located just west of Westfall. These landmarks, along with the numerous creek branches like Table Rock Creek, provide essential anchors for tracing family landholdings in this agricultural territory.
