2009 Map of Gridley

About this map

Gridley serves as the primary hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, characterized by the persistent intersection of agriculture and the petroleum industry. The township is situated among several significant extraction areas, including the Dunaway Oil Field to the northwest, the Virgil North Oil Field in the west, and the Winterscheid Oil Field stretching across the southeastern corner. A network of rural roads such as Angus Rd, Apache Rd, and Co Rd 11 grid the territory, providing access to the various wells and farmsteads. The local topography is defined by the drainage systems of Dinner Creek, Greenhall Creek, and South Big Creek, which carve gentle paths through the prairie. To the southeast of the town center, the Gridley Cemetery remains a key landmark for local genealogical research and community history.
