2009 Map of Greensburg NW

About this map

Rattlesnake Creek meanders through the central and eastern portions of this Kiowa County landscape, defining the local drainage and topography in an area dominated by rural section lines. The map reveals a sparsely settled agricultural and industrial region in the early 21st century, where energy extraction and local heritage intersect. To the south, the Fralick South Oil Field indicates the continued importance of mineral resources to the regional economy. Family history researchers will find the locations of Bethel Cemetery in the northeast and McKinley Cemetery in the southwest particularly useful for locating ancestral sites. The grid of local roads and 4WD tracks underscores the utilitarian nature of the land, connecting scattered farmsteads across the Kansas plains.
