2012 Map of Idana

About this map

Idana and Browndale anchor this section of Clay County, where the agricultural grid meets the drainage systems of the Kansas plains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Five Cr and Pinkerton Br, which eventually flow toward Chapman Cr in the south. Unlike the flatter prairies elsewhere, this area features distinctive topographic landmarks such as Potato Hill, Tobyne Hill, and the Table Mounds, which rise above the surrounding farmland. These elevations provided natural vantage points in an otherwise uniform landscape. For local historians, the location of Shields Cem on 14th Rd offers a specific point of interest for genealogical research, while the well-defined road network, including Co Hwy-827 and named routes like Deer Trail Rd, shows the modern connectivity of these rural communities.
