2012 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Harrisburg sits at the heart of this Saline County study, surrounded by a ring of established neighborhoods and residential extensions including Dorris Heights, Gaskins City, Dorrisville, and Garden Heights. The landscape is characterized by its numerous family-named burial grounds, such as the Moore-Vinson Family Cem and the Butler Family Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in the region. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Saline River and its various tributaries like Pankey Br and Brier Cr define the surrounding rural landscape. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by the meandering course of the South Fork Saline River, including its Old Channel and the convergence of Battle Ford Cr. Smaller outlying settlements like Ledford and Mitchellsville are connected by a network of rural roads that weave between these waterways and family landmarks.
