About this map

Lindsborg serves as the cultural and educational anchor for this portion of the Smoky Hill River valley, where the campus of Bethany College stands as a focal point of the town's layout. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and its tributaries, including Dry Cr and Indian Cr, which carve through the plains. To the north, the Smoky Hill Buttes rise above the agricultural grid, providing a distinct topographical break in an area otherwise dominated by section-line roads and wide-open fields.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Elmwood Cem near the town center, Smoky Hill Cem to the north, and Koons Cem in the southeast corner. The map also records the location of Jenkins, a small settlement south of the main township. The persistence of the grid system, evidenced by routes like Winchester Rd and Wells Fargo Rd, illustrates the organized agricultural expansion that has shaped McPherson County since the late 19th century.
