About this map

The Arkansas River winds through this southwestern Kansas landscape, marking the southern boundary of a region defined by its grid of rural roads and historical landmarks. In the southwest corner, the town of Ford serves as a local anchor, situated near the Ford Cem. This area of Ford County is characterized by its agricultural layout, where uniquely named routes like Butter and Egg Rd and Outlaw Rd crisscross the section lines of Township 27 and 28 South.

Further north, the drainage of Coon Creek (also labeled Coon Cr) carves through the plains toward the river. For genealogists and local historians, the Pleasant Valley Cem stands as a significant marker in the east, while the inclusion of the Liberty Trail Rd suggests the enduring path of regional travel. The map provides a clear record of land division and the network of local connectors, including Kingsdown Ford Rd and Saddle Side Rd, that supported the farming community in the early 21st century.
