2018 Map of Antonino

About this map

Antonino serves as the central settlement point in this section of Ellis County, where a grid of rural avenues and roads divides the Kansas prairie. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns of the Smoky Hill River in the south and the distinct landform of Lookout Hollow further north. Historical transportation routes are highlighted by the presence of Butterfield Trail Rd, a name recalling the mid-19th century stagecoach and freight line that once crossed these plains. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by section-line farming and the gradual descent toward the river valley, with local routes like Munjor Rd and Victoria Rd connecting the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots of the High Plains.
