About this map

Crawford sits near the southern boundary of Ellsworth County, marking a focal point of rural settlement in a landscape defined by the drainage systems of Bluff Creek and Thompson Cr. This 2022 survey captures a deeply agricultural region where the local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds, including Scates Cem in the north and Click Cem and Liscum Cem near the Rice County line.

In the northeast, the waters of Kanopolis Lake reach into the quadrangle, indicating the reach of mid-century water management projects on the Kansas prairie. The road network, consisting of gridded routes like Ave R and 21st Rd, reflects the rectilinear legacy of the Public Land Survey System. These sections, categorized under townships such as t17s r7w, illustrate a persistent pattern of land division that has shaped Kansas farming for over a century.
