2018 Map of Bala

About this map

Bala centers this rural landscape in western Riley County, where the settlement and its adjacent Bala Cem sit along the rolling uplands near the border with Clay County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, primarily shaped by Mall Cr and its tributary W Br Mall Cr flowing through the western sections. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads that navigate the intermittent watercourses like Lasita Branch and Wildcat Cr. This 2018 data illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where township and range lines like t8s r4e and t8s r5e still dictate the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure in the Kansas interior.
