About this map

Herington serves as the central hub for this corner of the Kansas plains, where the grid of agricultural section lines meets the winding paths of several regional waterways. The city streets, including W Main St and E Main St, are tightly clustered around the rail corridor. The surrounding landscape is defined by the headwaters of Lyon Cr, Lime Cr, and Kohls Cr, which carve gentle draws into the upland terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Sunset Hill Cem to rural churchyards like Immanuel Lutheran Cem and Saint Paul Cem near the northern settlement of Shady Brook. On the outskirts of the main town, Lake Herington provides a notable landmark in a landscape otherwise dominated by expansive farm tracts and the transition between Dickinson and Morris counties.
