About this map

Gridley stands as the primary hub of activity in this portion of eastern Kansas, situated near the intersection of Emmer Rd SW and several local thoroughfares like Stuckey St. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and winding paths of several creeks, including Dinner Cr and Varvel Cr to the north, and S Big Cr and Duck Cr to the south. These drainage patterns across the terrain highlight the agricultural and rural character of the region.

Evidence of the local industry is preserved in the road network, specifically with Oil Derrick Rd in the southwestern quadrant, suggesting a history of petroleum extraction or exploration in the area. Genealogists will find the location of the Gridley Cem on the town's eastern edge particularly useful for tracing family roots. This survey captures a moment where three counties meet: the borderlines of Greenwood, Coffey, and Woodson counties converge here, following the established section lines.
