2012 Map of Adams

About this map

The Chikaskia River meanders across this rural section of Kingman County, shaping the agricultural landscape of south-central Kansas. The small community of Adams sits at a grid-road junction in the western half of the map, while the settlement of Orsemus is positioned further north, near the banks of Sand Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring township-and-range road system, with a dense network of numbered avenues and streets like SE 140 St and SE 90 Ave providing access to the vast farmsteads between the waterways. Several drainage systems converge toward the river, including Big Spring Cr, Clearwater Cr, and Duck Cr, which define the local topography and historical property lines in this plains environment.
