2018 Map of Willowdale

About this map

Willowdale serves as the focal point for this Kingman County landscape, situated where the grid of rural section roads meets a network of branching waterways. The settlement is anchored by the Saint Peter Catholic Cem, a site of significant local genealogical value. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense system of seasonal and perennial drainages, including the prominent Mead Cr, Allen Cr, and Peters Cr. These creeks carve through the agricultural blocks, creating a distinct dendritic pattern against the rigid structure of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the persistent agricultural character of south-central Kansas in the early 21st century, showing how the township roads, such as Union Township Rd and Cleveland Rd, navigate the many crossings of Cross Cr and Petyt Cr.
