2009 Map of Crisfield

About this map

Crisfield and its surroundings in Harper County represent a quintessentially quiet agricultural landscape defined by a grid of rural section roads and winding watercourses. The local geography is etched by the paths of Little Sandy Creek, Sandy Creek, and West Sandy Creek, which draw through the plains alongside other tributaries like Bachelor Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Central to the community's history and genealogy is the Crisfield Cemetery, located just north of the primary settlement cluster near the intersection of NW 160 Ave and NW 20 Rd. This survey documents a traditional Kansas farming area where the infrastructure is almost entirely dedicated to land access, featuring named thoroughfares such as Harper Rd and Catalpa Rd. The distribution of farmsteads and the preservation of the local cemetery provide a clear record of the area's rural development and residency patterns into the 21st century.
