About this map

Fort Larned sits at the heart of this central Kansas landscape, where the winding course of the Pawnee River meets the flat agricultural plains of Pawnee County. This 2012 survey documents the region's institutional and military legacy, anchored by the expansive grounds of the Larned State Hospital and the nearby Camp Pawnee. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the river and smaller tributaries like Sawmill Cr, with smaller outposts like Frizell and Hamburg marking the rural intersections.

The presence of the Larned Cem and the prominent Jenkins Hill provide key navigational points for local historians. Further south, the Arkansas River cuts across the corner of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of these waterways to the development of the High Plains. This map captures the modern footprint of a region defined by its history as a frontier crossroads and its continued role in state service and agriculture.
