About this map

Grainfield serves as the central hub of this Gove County landscape, situated along the historic route of Old Hwy 40. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as Front St, Ash St, and Garfield Ave, anchored by the local Po and the Gove County Fairgrounds. To the north of the main settlement lies the Grainfield Cem, a primary site for genealogical research in the area.

The surrounding terrain is a classic High Plains expanse, marked by the winding paths of N Fork Big Cr and Big Cr. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the extensive network of rural routes, including Gove DD and Gove AA, which segment the land between these intermittent watercourses. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Kansas Department of Transportation Gove County Rest Area along the interstate corridor, illustrating the area's continued role as a transit point across western Kansas.
