2012 Map of Galva

About this map

Galva sits at the southern edge of this McPherson County landscape, a community defined by its grid of streets including S Santa Fe St and Main St. The surrounding countryside reveals an active industrial history, dominated by the presence of the Chindberg Oil Field, McPherson Oil Field, and Ritz Canton Oil Field. These energy-producing zones are interspersed among a network of agricultural roads with names that recall the region's heritage, such as Quivira Rd, Pawnee Rd, and Mohawk Rd. To the northwest, the settlement of New Gottland serves as a local landmark near the Kansas Department of Transportation McPherson County Rest Area. The terrain is drained by a series of north-south waterways including Kentucky Cr, Turkey Cr, and Dry Turkey Cr, which carve subtle paths through the prairie section lines.
