About this map

The small community of Freeport serves as the focal point of this Harper County landscape, situated along the path of State Hwy 44. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural roads, including NE 100 Ave and W 50th St S, which section off the agricultural plots characteristic of this part of southern Kansas. Local history is anchored at the Freeport Cemetery and the more remote H and S Cemetery, located further north near the intersection of NE 120 Ave and NE 60 Rd.

Waterways like the Chikaskia River in the northeast corner and the winding courses of Sand Creek, Fall Creek, and Spring Branch cut through the terrain, influencing the placement of homesteads and landing strips like Tracy Landing Field. This map documents a quiet, productive landscape where the orientation of roads and the preservation of small family or community burial grounds tell the story of generations of prairie settlement.
