About this map

Greensburg stands as the central hub of this Kansas prairie landscape, situated near the headwaters of several significant drainage systems. To the north, the Kiowa County State Lake provides a prominent water feature in a region defined by its wide, open drainage basins. The town itself is organized around a traditional grid of named streets, including California Ave and W Illinois Ave, while the surrounding rural township is partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the boundaries of t28s r18w and t29s r19w.

Water plays a critical role in defining the local geography, with the Medicine Lodge River and its northern branch, the N Br Medicine Lodge River, flowing toward the southeast. Meanwhile, the E Fork Rattlesnake Cr and S Br Rattlesnake Cr carve pathways across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the Fairview Cem on the northeastern edge of town serves as a key landmark for tracing local history.
