2009 Map of La Harpe

About this map

La Harpe and Gas anchor this portion of Allen County, where the transition from aviation infrastructure to rural cemetery sites reveals much about the area's development. Small-scale flight operations are centered at the National Airport south of Gas and Midway Air Park to the east, while the region's long-standing community roots are documented through the locations of Pioneer Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and La Harpe Cemetery. The landscape is defined by a grid of county roads such as Nebraska Rd and South Dakota Rd that navigate the drainages of Deer Creek, Rock Creek, and Elm Creek. In the north, the small settlement of Wise stands near the intersection of Texas Rd, reflecting the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the Kansas prairie during this era.
