About this map

The town of Ellis serves as the focal point of this western Kansas landscape, positioned where the high plains meet the winding course of Big Cr. This 2022 survey captures the community’s layout, featuring a dense network of residential streets such as W 10th St and E 6th St that transition into a expansive grid of rural section roads. Genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks on the eastern edge of the settlement, including Saint Mary's Cem and Mount Hope Cem.

Transport corridors dominate the local geography, with the modern interstate running parallel to the historic Old Hwy 40. The surrounding terrain is defined by drainage patterns like Spring Cr and several named thoroughfares that suggest past land uses, such as Airbase Rd and Fairground Rd. The boundary between Trego Co and Ellis Co is clearly demarcated, marking the western extent of this agricultural and transit-oriented corridor.
