About this map

The town of Geneseo serves as the primary hub of this Rice County landscape, where the grid of residential streets like Silver Ave and Main St meets the open agricultural plains. The geography is defined by a dense network of prairie waterways, including the headwaters of the Little Arkansas River and the meandering paths of Skunk Creek and Little Cow Creek. This region reflects a dual economy of farming and energy extraction, characterized by the scattered locations of the Andrews Oil Field, Maes Oil Field, and the Geneseo-Edwards Oil Field.

For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of two significant burial grounds: the Geneseo Cemetery south of town and the Kansas Center Cemetery to the west. Small settlements like Midway punctuate the section lines, connected by a systematic road network that includes 15th Rd and Avenue S, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure at the end of the first decade of the 2000s.
