About this map

The Fort Larned National Historic Site anchors the northwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, preserving a critical piece of frontier history where the Arkansas River valley meets the plains. The small town of Garfield is laid out in a grid south of the river, with streets named for historical figures such as Grant St, Sheridan St, and Pawnee St. This layout suggests an era of planned settlement that accompanied the expansion of rail and river commerce in Pawnee Co.

Outside the town limits, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the river and its tributaries, including Coon Cr and Pickle Cr. The presence of Hamburg to the northeast and the network of section roads like 180th Ave and NE Trail St reflect the enduring agricultural structure of the region, where the land is strictly partitioned for farming and ranching across the Pawnee County countryside.
