2009 Map of Girard

About this map

Girard serves as the focal point of this southeastern Kansas landscape, showing the organized grid of a long-established county seat. The town is flanked by the Girard Cemetery to the west and is bounded by streets such as W Maple and E Elm St. To the north, the small community of Farlington sits near the headwaters of the West Fork Dry Wood Creek, while the settlement of Ringo appears in the eastern reaches. The terrain is defined by a dense network of sectional roads, including Carline Rd and W 640th Ave, which carve through the watershed of Second Cow Creek and Thunderbolt Creek. For genealogists, the Union Center Cemetery provides a key point of reference in the rural expanse east of the main town site, documenting the area's distributed settlement pattern.
