2012 Map of Allendorph

About this map

Allendorph and the surrounding Wabaunsee County landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways feeding into the Kansas River drainage basin. In the early 21st century, this region maintains a predominantly rural character, where the topography is etched by the W Br Mill Cr and its various tributaries including S Br Mill Cr and Illinois Cr. The presence of the Davis Ranch Oil Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle indicates the localized importance of energy extraction within the agricultural environment. For genealogists and local historians, the Fairview Cem near Loire Cr and the Alma City Reservoir serve as fixed points of reference in a terrain otherwise characterized by long-established ranch roads such as Skyline Rd and Ridge Rd. This survey documents the intersection of natural water systems and the infrastructure of the modern Kansas prairie.
