About this map

Great Bend sits at the northern apex of its namesake river curve, where the Arkansas River winds through the expansive Great Bend Prairie. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation captures the city's modern grid and its intersection with major regional transport routes like Radium Rd and Liberty Rd. The landscape is defined by the transition from the structured urban streets of the county seat to the agricultural sections of the surrounding plains, marked by drainage features like Antelope Creek.

To the west, the Great Bend Municipal Airport occupies a significant footprint, with B-29 Way serving as a direct nod to the area's aviation heritage. Local history is anchored by the Great Bend Cemetery, while the southern portion of the map traces the boundary between Barton County and Stafford County. The intricate network of section roads, including NW 50th Ave and S Washington Ave, provides a detailed record of land use and property boundaries across the Kansas prairie.
