About this map

Hesston serves as the primary hub of this Harvey County landscape, organized around a rigid grid of agricultural roads and modern thoroughfares. The town's layout is centered near N Main St and W Lincoln Blvd, featuring local landmarks such as the Po and the Dyck Arboretum of the Plains. The surrounding plains are bisected by N Old US Highway 81, which runs diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the region's 20th-century transportation evolution.

Beyond the residential core, the map reveals a working landscape where industry and natural drainage meet. The Graber Oil Field indicates the presence of energy extraction north of the town center, while the meandering paths of W Emma Cr and Middle Emma Cr provide a contrast to the straight lines of section roads like Arapaho Rd and Cheyenne Rd. Local heritage is anchored by the Freedom Cem, located north of the city near Arrowhead Rd.
