2010 Map of Harper

About this map

Harper serves as the primary hub of activity on this southern Kansas landscape, where the grid of city streets like Central St and Ash St meets the wide-open prairie. The map reveals a community supported by a mix of aviation and agriculture, featuring both the Harper Municipal Airport and the smaller Dewey Airport. Outside the town center, the terrain is defined by a strictly surveyed section-line road system, including routes like NW 140 Rd and NW 40 Ave, which cross the drainage basins of Spring Creek, Sand Creek, and Rush Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its placement of scattered burial grounds including Duquoin Cemetery in the northwest, Hillsdale Cemetery in the northeast, and the Christian Cemetery to the southeast, documenting the historical footprint of the county's rural residents.
