About this map

Mulberry Cr meanders across the southern plains of this Gray County landscape, providing a natural drainage corridor through an otherwise geometric grid of section roads. The small settlement of Sayre sits near the center of the sheet, while the town of Ensign is anchored by its local post office, labeled Po, at the junction of Fowler Rd and Ford St. This 2012 survey illustrates a modern rural economy defined by systematic land divisions and long-standing local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, including Johnson Cem to the north and Ensign Cem in the southwest corner. The road network reveals a mix of functional and descriptive naming, from the agricultural Beeson Rd and Tillman Rd to more colorful labels like Outlaw Rd. These thoroughfares connect scattered homesteads and small-scale developments, documenting the persistent settlement patterns of western Kansas in the early 21st century.
