About this map

Long Island serves as the primary hub of activity in this Phillips County landscape, where the confluence of Prairie Dog Creek and Elk Creek shapes the local topography. The town’s grid is clearly defined by streets such as Chandler St, Concord St, and Commercial St, reflecting its role as a residential and service center for the surrounding agricultural prairie. To the west and east, the map reveals the locations of Vineman Cemetery and Long Island Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in the region.

The layout of the township is organized by a meticulous system of rural routes, including W 1500 Rd and West Dakota Rd, which intersect the drainage basins of Hanson Creek and other smaller tributaries. This network illustrates the enduring rural infrastructure of northern Kansas, where natural waterways and section-line roads together define the movement of people and commerce through the county.
