2012 Map of Kalvesta SW

About this map

High plains agriculture and the grid of section-line roads define this Finney County landscape. The mapping of the southwestern corner of the Kalvesta area shows a terrain dominated by intermittent drainage patterns and a highly structured transportation network typical of the Kansas prairie. Named thoroughfares such as N Road 36 and N Ingalls Rd reveal the local preference for numeric and family-based nomenclature. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians are the family-named landmarks Harry Oyler Rd and E Oyler Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These named roads often correlate with established farmsteads or historical family tracts. The map also records the crossing of V Rd and E Phipps Rd, which serve as primary connectors across this rural expanse.
