About this map

The city of Hays anchors the southern edge of this landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural expanses of Ellis County. This modern survey illustrates a community deeply integrated with its geography, defined by the winding course of Big Creek and its local tributaries. The northern reaches are characterized by a systematic grid of country roads, including Locust Grove RD and Hopewell RD, which partition the rolling plains into large tracts of land.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the urban core and its immediate periphery. The map specifically identifies the Mount Allen Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, providing essential points of reference for tracing early families in the region. Transportation and infrastructure are central themes, from the small Rans Airport to the arterial routes like Emmeram RD and Vineyard RD that connect the town to the surrounding rural sections.
