2015 Map of Kirwin

About this map

The Kirwin townsite sits at a significant bend of the N Fork Solomon River, where the prairie landscape meets the rising waters of the Kirwin Reservoir. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural crossroads economy defined by the intersection of alphabetical and numerical range roads that segment the territory between the Phillips Co and Smith Co boundary. Evidence of early settlement patterns remains visible at the Olive Branch Cem in the north and the small community of Claudell further east. The local infrastructure supports both agriculture and aviation, highlighted by the Wyrill Farming Airport. Hydrological features like Medicine Cr and Middle Cedar Cr carve through the terrain, feeding into the river system that has historically sustained these Kansas communities.
