2018 Map of Kirwin Reservoir

About this map

Kirwin Reservoir dominates this landscape in Phillips County, formed by the impoundment of the North Fork Solomon River. The topography revealed in this 2018 survey shows a transition from the structured street grid of Kirwin to the expansive waters of the reservoir, punctuated by recreational landmarks like Bluegill Point and Crappie Point. The surrounding terrain is dissected by several drainages, including Big Cr and Deer Cr, which feed into the central basin. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies Kirwin Cem and Hillsdale Cem, providing precise locations for family history research. North of the water, the Wyrill Farming Airport reflects the region's agricultural aviation needs, while a dense network of range and township roads—such as E Santa Fe Rd and E Xavier Rd—defines the rural land divisions characteristic of the Kansas plains.
