2010 Map of Hays North

About this map

The city of Hays anchors the southern portion of this landscape, showing a dense residential grid that transitions abruptly into the agricultural plains of Ellis County. In this section of the High Plains, water courses like North Fork Big Creek and Chetolah Creek carve subtle paths through the rectilinear section lines. These drainage patterns influenced early settlement and road placement, seen in the winding routes of local ways compared to the strict cardinal orientation of Locust Grove Rd and Hopewell Rd. Local history is preserved at the Saint Joseph Cemetery and Mount Allen Cemetery, located on the city's edge. Modern logistical infrastructure is also evident, notably the Saint Anthony Hospital Airport and major thoroughfares like Mopar Dr, which highlight the city's role as a regional hub for healthcare and commerce in western Kansas.
