2018 Map of Crisfield

About this map

The small settlement of Crisfield serves as the central point of this high-plains landscape on the border of Barber and Harper counties. This rural area is defined by its drainage systems, where Cottonwood Cr and Bachelor Cr flow through a grid of section-line roads. The concentration of agriculture is evident in the naming of local routes like Grama Rd, Kochia, and Pleasant Hill Rd, which delineate the surveyed sections of the Kansas prairie. For those tracing local families, the Crisfield Cem stands near the town site, overlooking the subtle valley formed by Sandy Cr and its tributaries. The map documents a landscape where the infrastructure remains largely tied to the original township and range system, with long-established property lines holding fast across the watersheds of Spring Cr and Little Sandy Cr.
