2015 Map of Bluff City East

About this map

The Harper and Sumner county line divides this agricultural landscape on the Kansas-Oklahoma border, where the prairie begins its descent into the drainage of Bluff Creek. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by a strict section-line road grid, centered on the small community of Bluff City. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several rural burial grounds, including the Singer Cemetery in the northwest and the Saint Paul Evangelical Church Cemetery, which marks a site of early German Lutheran heritage. The map also identifies the location of Metcalf, situated along S Blackstone Road. This modern record of the area preserves the names of small tributaries like Spring Branch and Fall Creek, alongside the family-named roads that continue to define the ranching and farming tracts of south-central Kansas.
