About this map

Idana sits as a central settlement on the high plains of Clay County, defined by a grid of rural roads and the undulating topography of the Kansas landscape. The area is marked by prominent natural landmarks such as Tobyne Hill, Table Mounds, and Potato Hill, which rise above the surrounding farmland and the drainage basins of Five Cr and Pinkerton Br. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain deeply tied to its agricultural roots, where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System dictate the placement of roads like Meridian Rd and Buffalo Rd.

For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for Shields Cem and Hebron Cem, preserving the spatial context of these early community sites. Traces of smaller locales like Browndale appear alongside the headwaters of Chapman Cr, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of the region. The map also documents the convergence of several county boundaries, including where the border meets Cloud Co and Ottawa Co.
