2009 Map of Bazine

About this map

Bazine sits at the confluence of several central Kansas waterways, where the meandering Walnut Creek and its tributary Bazine Dry Creek carve paths through the Ness County prairie. The town layout is clearly defined by a grid of numbered and lettered rural roads, including EE Rd and FF Rd, which facilitate transport across the agricultural landscape. To the north, the Bazine Cemetery serves as a vital anchor for genealogists and local historians, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by industrial activity at the Margheim Oil Field. This survey captures the town just before the end of the first decade of the 2000s, reflecting a landscape where legacy rural structures and resource extraction coexist within a strictly surveyed township system.
