2018 Map of Ellinwood SW

About this map

Great Bend anchors the northwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, where the urban grid of Chestnut St and Park Ave transitions into the productive agricultural plains of Barton and Stafford counties. The hydrology of the region is defined by the Arkansas River and Walnut Cr, which meander across the terrain, shaping the historical development and road layout. The small settlement of Dartmouth sits to the east, connected by the prominent E Barton Co Rd and a network of section roads like Kiowa Rd. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent importance of the section-line grid in Central Kansas, showing how modern county roads continue to follow the Public Land Survey System boundaries established generations ago.
