About this map

Arcola sits along the southern edge of this landscape where Saline and Ellsworth counties meet. The terrain is defined by the Smoky Hills, featuring distinctive landforms like Table-Rock Gulch in the north and the high point of Buzzard Roost near the southern border. Drainage for the region is provided by several waterways, including Mulberry Cr and Eff Cr, which carve through the undulating prairie.

A network of section-line roads, such as Ave A and 29th RD, connects the scattered rural improvements and agricultural holdings. For those researching local heritage, the Mulberry Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest, while the Belcher Airport serves as a modern waypoint. The map reveals a transition between the uplands and the creek valleys, illustrating the persistent agricultural and transport patterns that characterize this part of central Kansas.
