2015 Map of Canton SW

About this map

Running Turkey Cr and Sand Cr carve through this agricultural landscape in McPherson County, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the local section lines and farmstead placement. This 2015 survey illustrates a grid of arterial roads named for regional history and heritage, including Chisholm Rd, Cimarron Rd, and Kiowa Rd. Genealogists will find the locations of Lone Tree Cem and Meridian Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early settlement families. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the meandering course of W Emma Cr, while the southern reaches are touched by Black Kettle Cr. The infrastructure remains firmly rooted in the Public Land Survey System, with numbered avenues from 24th Ave to 29th Ave maintaining the orderly transition from the prairie into organized ranching and cultivation.
