About this map

Wilson serves as the central hub in this western Ellsworth County landscape, where the town’s grid meets a network of local roads such as 4-Corners Rd and Plymouth Rd. The area’s history is anchored by its burial grounds, including Wilson Cem, the Saint Wenceslaus Catholic Cem, and the notable Old Wilson Cem. These sites reflect the community’s heritage just south of the Wilson Airport.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the Smoky Hill River, which is joined by several tributaries including Wilson Cr, Blood Cr, and Spring Cr. This confluence of waterways and the alignment of Old US Hwy 40 trace the natural and early automotive transport corridors of the region. The map also delineates the administrative boundaries where Russell and Lincoln counties meet Ellsworth, marking a transition between these distinct central Kansas prairie sections.
