About this map

Effingham serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of Atchison County, where the local grid meets the Atchison County Fairgrounds. The town's religious and civic history is anchored by the Saint Anns Catholic Cem and the Effingham Cem to the south. The landscape is defined by the Glacier Uplands, a terrain characterized by the winding paths of Little Grasshopper Cr and Brush Cr, reflecting the glacial legacy of the region.

Rural life is further detailed through a network of section-line roads, including Decatur Rd and Cheyenne Rd, which connect outlying points like the small community of Helena and the Strafuss Airport. In the center of the sheet, Figge Lake sits as a notable water feature amidst the drainage patterns of S Cr and Stranger Cr. This survey illustrates a stable Kansas agricultural landscape where modern infrastructure like the airport coexists with long-established cemeteries and small-town gathering places.
