2015 Map of Laird

About this map

Laird sits at the intersection of J Rd and L Rd, serving as a central point in this Ness County landscape. The area is defined by the drainage systems of the Walnut Creek forks, with the N Fork Walnut Cr carving through the northern sections while the S Fork Walnut Cr meanders across the central and southern reaches. This topographic survey illustrates the transition of the High Plains into dissected breaks, where the subtle elevation changes dictate the layout of the section-line road network. Local transit routes such as Co Rd 525, 110 Rd, and 100 Rd provide the framework for the agricultural properties that dominate the quadrangle, reflecting a late 20th-century rural Kansas settlement pattern where water access remains a primary geographic driver.
