2018 Map of Ellis

About this map

Ellis serves as the central hub of this High Plains landscape, where the meandering course of Big Creek and Spring Cr dictates the local topography. The map illustrates a transition from the structured grid of the town site to the expansive agricultural and grazing lands of the surrounding prairie. This area is defined by its historical transportation corridors, including the path of Old Hwy 40 and a dense network of section-line roads like Emmeram Rd and Hopewell Rd. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by landmarks such as Mount Hope Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. The inclusion of Airbase Rd and Fairground Rd indicates the specialized land use typical of rural Kansas county seats and their outskirts, providing a clear view of the regional infrastructure as it existed in 2018.
