About this map

Crisfield sits at the center of this agricultural landscape in Harper County, where a grid of rural roads connects scattered settlements and landholdings. The map reveals the local geography defined by a series of north-south drainage systems, including Sandy Cr, Little Sandy Cr, and Bachelor Cr, which flow through the prairie terrain. These watercourses influenced the placement of early waypoints and gathering spots, such as Crooked Post and Grama.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Crisfield Cem situated just west of the primary settlement, alongside notable landmarks like College Hl and Se Pleasant Hl. The 2012 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the Kansas section-line road system, with routes like NW 150 Ave and NW 40 Rd providing the framework for the community. The presence of multiple named "HL" (Hill) and "POST" locations suggests a legacy of early surveying and communication nodes in this part of the state.
