About this map

Gridley serves as the primary hub for this section of eastern Kansas, appearing as a compact grid of streets including 1st St, Stuckey St, and Rural St SW. The town includes local landmarks such as the Po and the nearby Gridley Cem to the east. Outside the settlement, the landscape is defined by its agricultural and petroleum heritage, marked by the extensive Dunaway Oil Field and the Virgil North Oil Field.

Drainage throughout the quadrangle is managed by several meandering waterways, notably Dinner Cr, Greenhall Cr, and S Big Cr. The rural road network, organized largely on a township grid, facilitates access to these fields and homesteads via routes such as Blackbird Rd and Coyote Rd. This survey documents a prairie landscape where traditional farming and modern oil extraction coexist among the headwaters of the regional creek system.
