2009 Map of Bird City South

About this map

Bird City sits at the northern edge of this Cheyenne County landscape, where the High Plains transition into a network of drainage ways. The southern reaches are defined by the meandering course of Little Beaver Creek, which carves subtle relief into the agricultural grid. This 2009 survey reveals a rural infrastructure dependent on aviation and organized land management, with both the Bird City Airport and the smaller Gillilands Farm Airport serving the local farming community. The geographic center is marked by the Community Cemetery, a key landmark for genealogical research located along Co RD H. The map illustrates a highly regular system of county roads, such as Co RD 25 and Co RD 30, which partition the territory into large-scale grain production plots characteristic of northwestern Kansas.
