2012 Map of Haviland

About this map

Barclay Coll serves as a local anchor in this agricultural landscape of Kiowa County, where the town grid of Haviland meets the open prairie. The map documents a classic Kansas high-plains settlement pattern, where the primary infrastructure follows the east-west corridor of Old Hwy 54 and the modern 54 400 highway. South of the town center, the terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Spring Cr and Soldier Cr, which cut through the sectional grid roads. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Boles Cem positioned well away from the main settlements, while the presence of the Gail Ballard Airport and the Haviland Wastewater Treatment Facility show the evolution of municipal services in this rural township.
