About this map

Great Bend serves as the hub of this 2009 survey, showcasing a dense grid of streets and residential development situated just north of the Arkansas River. The city’s infrastructure is clearly defined, from the Great Bend Municipal Airport on the western edge to the centrally located Great Bend Cemetery. South of the river, the landscape transitions into the expansive Great Bend Prairie, a low-lying region marked by the winding path of Antelope Creek.

The map captures the intersection of rural and urban Kansas, highlighting small outlying points like Anchorway and Harts Corner. These locations, along with the thorough network of section roads like Oil Center Rd and Railroad Ave, illustrate the region’s reliance on both agriculture and industrial transport. The detailed road network provides a clear view of the area's layout at the end of the first decade of the 2000s.
