2009 Map of Fairport

About this map

Fairport sits at the eastern edge of Russell County, where the Saline River winds through a landscape marked by deep incisions like Sweetwater Canyon. This 2009 survey reflects the rural character of the Kansas plains, dominated by a strict grid of section roads including Severin Rd and Mellard Rd that service agricultural tracts. The settlement itself remains centered near the river crossing, with the Fairport Cemetery located just to the east along Fairport Rd. The western boundary of the map is defined by Ellis County Line Rd, marking the transition between counties. Local drainage is defined by the convergence of Sweetwater Creek and the river, creating the varied topography seen in the canyonlands before the terrain flattens into the expansive uplands along Homestead Rd.
