A Cloud County township map answers two different questions around Jamestown: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. Here's how to see township lines for Cloud County, Kansas, on free official maps.
How to use the Cloud County township map
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Miltonvale belongs to exactly one of them. The survey township cited in deeds near Miltonvale comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles, divided into 36 numbered sections.
The county map you'll pair it with
Cloud County publishes its parcels on the ORKA parcel viewer, which runs on a parcel platform shared by many Kansas counties, free to use for a lot in Miltonvale or a parcel near Clyde. Once Cloud County is chosen in ORKA, parcels near Clyde display owner and acreage when clicked. Bookmark our Cloud County page too; it tracks the official Kansas link if it moves and lists the maps around Miltonvale.
Seeing township lines on the Cloud County map
The ORKA parcel viewer is the quickest Cloud County township map for most people: switch on boundaries and click a parcel near Rice. Some Cloud County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which helps when a deed near Concordia cites T and R numbers.
Sections, quarters and roads in Cloud County
Near Miltonvale, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, with the count snaking back and forth to 36 in the southeast. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Miltonvale are read from the end: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Clyde may not be exactly 640 acres.
Deeds, districts and roads
Older deeds near Concordia may name a township differently than today's Cloud County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Cloud County don't always follow township lines near Glasco, so check each one separately.
Work and land use in Cloud County
County Business Patterns counted 286 business establishments in Cloud County for 2022, led by other services, retail trade, and health care and social assistance. Utilities and wholesale of nondurable goods (including farm products) make up an above-average share of Cloud County businesses, a clue to how land around Jamestown gets used.
From Concordia to the back roads
Town lots cluster around Concordia, the county seat, and Aurora, Clyde, Glasco, and Jamestown. Smaller places such as Ames, Hollis, and Huscher appear on the Cloud County map as little clusters of lots. Cloud County had an estimated 8,854 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 715 square miles. Beyond the town lots in Jamestown, expect big rural parcels across the county. With a founding date of 1867, Cloud County has long chains of title on some rural tracts.
Near the Cloud County line
A farm near the county line can carry separate records in Clay County, Jewell County, and Mitchell County as well. Our Kansas page links each map neighboring Cloud County.
Deeds and plats behind the Cloud County map
Deeds and plats behind the Cloud County map are kept by the county's recording office; the official Cloud County website names which office that is. Easements and access rights near Glasco live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
Taxes, permits and township lines
For a parcel near Miltonvale, township lines affect tax bills, local permits and voting precincts, so look it up well before you call about land near Rice. Assessment and tax districts in Cloud County are commonly tied to the township, so two neighboring parcels near Concordia can carry different rates.
