About this map

Palco sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, where a meticulous grid of rural roads like N Hampton-Fairview Township Rd and AA Rd divide the territory into sections. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Wild Horse Cr and Tomcat Cr, which carve their way south toward the Saline River along the southern boundary. This topography reveals the deep relationship between Kansas agriculture and the natural hydrology of the Smoky Hills region.

Genealogists will find the Pleasantview Cem located in the northeastern portion of the sheet, providing a primary reference point for family research in this part of Rooks County. The map clearly delineates the complex intersection of four counties at its southern margin, where Graham, Rooks, Trego, and Ellis counties meet, making it an essential document for understanding shifting local jurisdictions and land ownership near A Rd.
