2022 Map of Woodston NW

About this map

The S Fork Solomon River defines the central valley of this Rooks County landscape, cutting a wide alluvial path through the rolling Kansas plains. Historically significant for its water access in an arid region, the river is fed by numerous seasonal drainages including Jim Cr, Douglas Cr, and Elm Cr. The human footprint is oriented around the sectional grid system, with roads like I RD and J RD providing access to the agricultural uplands. A primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians is Woodstown Cem, located in the eastern portion of the map near the border of t7s r16w. The terrain is characterized by the complex dendritic drainage patterns of Medicine Cr and Buros Cr, which have carved deep draws into the prairie, illustrating the transition from flat tabletop lands to the breaks of the Solomon River valley.
