2009 Map of Kipp

About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders across the northern portion of this Saline County landscape, defining the topography of this agricultural region. The small settlement of Kipp serves as a central point, situated near the confluence where Gypsum Creek meets its West Branch. This 2009 survey reveals a highly organized grid of rural roads, including S Kipp Rd and E Schilling Rd, which segment the plains into expansive farming tracts. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key community landmarks such as Poheta Cemetery and Donmyer Cemetery, both preserved within the rural landscape. The drainage patterns of the creek systems provide a sharp contrast to the straight lines of the transportation network, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and human land management in the Kansas interior.
