2009 Map of Herington

About this map

The city of Herington stands as the central hub of this Dickinson County landscape, characterized by its grid of streets such as W Railroad St and W Walnut St. This era of development shows the town's expansion toward Lake Herington in the southwest, while the surrounding prairie is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and watercourses like Lyon Creek and Lime Creek. Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds including Saint Johns Cemetery and Sunset Hill Cemetery. To the north, the small settlement of Shady Brook sits near the headwaters of the drainage system, illustrating the distributed nature of early rural communities in the region. The map captures the organized agricultural layout of the early 21st century, with numbered thoroughfares such as 1000 Ave and V Ave connecting the family farmsteads that dot the Kansas plains.
