2015 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders across this central Kansas landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the neighboring towns of Ellsworth and Kanopolis. This survey reflects the modern infrastructure of Ellsworth County, including the Ellsworth Municipal Airport and the grid systems of residential streets like Prospect St and E Main St. Local history is preserved through the mapping of several burial grounds, including the Ellsworth Memorial Cem and Kanopolis Cem. The drainage network is particularly well-defined, showing how tributaries like Oak Cr, Mud Cr, and Skunk Cr feed into the river valley. The inclusion of Old Hwy 40 marks the legacy of transcontinental travel through the region, while the meticulous section lines of T15S and T16S illustrate the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Kansas prairie.
