About this map

Fort Hays State University anchors the northern edge of this study, where the city of Hays transitions into the agrarian landscape of Ellis County. The meandering course of Big Creek and its tributary Chetolah Creek define the drainage patterns south of the city, carving through the terrain near Lookout Hollow. This era shows a structured grid of section-line roads, including the historically named Butterfield Trail Rd, which reflects the region's heritage as a transit corridor across the High Plains.

To the southeast, the small settlement of Munjor remains a distinct community center, marked by the Saint Francis Cemetery. The map also details local aviation infrastructure, from the Hays Municipal Airport to the private Stecklein Field further south. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the numerous named roads such as Grants Villa Rd and Antonino Rd, which provide precise locations for family homesteads and rural landmarks as they existed in the early 21st century.
