2012 Map of Ellis

About this map

Ellis stands as a central hub on the High Plains, where the winding course of Big Cr meets a grid of rural section roads and modern transportation corridors. This 2012 survey illustrates the town's layout between the interstate and the historic route of Old US Hwy 40, which parallels the local street grid. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint Mary's Cem and Mount Hope Cem, while the town's aviation history is represented by the Ellis Landing Field to the south. Beyond the residential core, the landscape transitions into a working landscape of extraction and agriculture, marked by the Pleasant Oil Field and numerous rural arteries such as Fairgrounds Rd and Airbase Rd. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of water resources like Spring Cr and the heavy infrastructure required for Kansas's energy and transit economies.
