2015 Map of Ellinwood SW

About this map

Arkansas River and Walnut Cr define the northern landscape of this region, where the southeastern edge of Great Bend gives way to the open agricultural tracts of central Kansas. The transition from the urban grid of Great Bend—marked by streets like Chestnut St and Barton Dr—to the expansive section-line road network highlights the late 20th-century development patterns at the county line. The small settlement of Dartmouth sits at a rail and road junction to the northeast, anchoring a rural landscape crisscrossed by named routes such as E Barton Co Rd and Comanche Rd. Spanning the Barton Co Stafford Co border, this survey documents the hydrography and topography of the alluvial plains as they appeared in 2015, preserving the alignment of local connectors like 70 Se Rd before they meet the southern prairie.
