About this map

The neighboring towns of Gas and La Harpe anchor this late 2010s survey of eastern Allen County. The landscape is structured by a grid of roads named for American states, such as Oregon Rd, Nebraska Rd, and Missouri Rd, reflecting the systematic agricultural development of the Kansas plains. Several small cemeteries, including Pioneer Cem, Gas City Cem, and Saint John's Catholic Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, offering points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the vicinity of these settlements.

Waterways like Elm Creek, Rock Creek, and Little Deer Cr cut across the road grid, creating the only departures from the rectilinear survey pattern. The town of Gas shows a detailed street plan with names like Walnut St and Pine St, while the larger La Harpe layout is clearly defined south of the main thoroughfare. This map captures the area as it appeared in 2018, documenting the enduring community structures and rural landscape of the region.
