About this map

Kirwin Reservoir dominates the southern half of this Kansas landscape, fed by the North Fork Solomon River as it flows east toward the town of Kirwin. The reservoir’s irregular shoreline is marked by local fishing and recreation landmarks like Bluegill Point and Crappie Point, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a dense grid of rural routes including E Santa Fe Rd and the Prairie Dog Trail.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Kirwin Cem near the town's western edge and Hillsdale Cem further north in the rural sections. The landscape is carved by numerous tributaries such as Deer Cr, Big Cr, and Plum Cr, which feed the river valley. The presence of the Wyrill Farming Airport near the northeastern shore of the reservoir highlights the intersection of local aviation and the region's agricultural character.
