About this map

Edmond sits in the valley of the North Fork Solomon River, serving as a central hub for this portion of Norton and Graham Counties during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the organized township boundaries of Belle Plaine, Orange, Solomon, Model, and West Union. Local transportation and industry are clearly visible through the route of the Missouri Pacific railroad and the presence of an active Oil Field with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the southern sections.

Water drainage from the surrounding uplands is managed by several tributaries including Sand Creek, Timber Creek, Otter Creek, and Game Creek. For those researching family history in the area, the Edmond Cem is a prominent local landmark. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits suggests ongoing local extraction and infrastructure maintenance within this agricultural and energy-producing region of Kansas.
