2018 Map of Long Island

About this map

Long Island serves as the central hub for this portion of Phillips County, situated where the high plains are dissected by the winding courses of Prairie Dog Cr and Elk Cr. The town's grid is clearly defined by landmarks such as Wheeling Ave and Commercial St, reflecting a well-organized prairie settlement pattern. Outside the immediate town limits, the landscape is etched with a network of rural roads following the Section Land Survey system, including W Buffalo Rd and W Hunter RD. Local genealogy and settlement history are anchored by two distinct burial sites: Long Island Cem located just northeast of the town center, and the more isolated Vineman Cem to the west. The drainage patterns of Hanson Cr and various unnamed draws illustrate the erosion-carved topography that defines this agricultural region of northern Kansas.
