2016 Map of Effingham

About this map

Effingham serves as the primary hub of this Atchison County landscape, organized by a precise grid of rural roads and section lines. The town's layout is centered on Main St and Seabury St, with Saint Anns Catholic Cem and Effingham Cem providing important reference points for local genealogy. The surrounding terrain of the Glacier Uplands is carved by a network of drainage systems, including Little Grasshopper Cr, Brush Cr, and Stranger Cr. Away from the town center, the map reveals isolated landmarks like Strafuss Airport and several historic burial grounds such as Forest Grove Cem and Brush Creek Cem. Small water bodies like Figge Lake dot the agricultural parcels, illustrating the persistent drainage patterns of this upland prairie region.
