2018 Map of Yates Center

About this map

Yates Center serves as the primary hub for this portion of Woodson County, showcasing a dense street grid that includes E Madison St, W Bell St, and S Main St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Owl Cr and its northern branch, N Owl Cr, along with smaller tributaries like Bloody Run and School Cr. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent rural footprint of the Kansas plains, where small settlements such as Vernon, Hasty, and Durand are connected by an extensive network of range and township roads. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of the Dutro Cem north of Yates Center provides a vital point of reference for tracing family roots in the area. The geography is marked by gentle undulations and the winding courses of Cherry Cr, illustrating the agricultural layout of the region in the early 21st century.
