2009 Map of Longford

About this map

Longford and Oak Hill anchor this section of Clay County, reflecting a typical Kansas prairie grid of the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Chapman Creek and its tributary, West Chapman Creek, which break the regularity of the section-line roads. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are documented across the township, including Swartwood Cemetery in the south and Pleasant Valley Cemetery in the northeast. The residential layout of Longford is detailed with specific streets such as Santfe Ave, Main St, and Cottonwood Rd, showing the concentrated settlement pattern amidst a wide-reaching agricultural network. Additional watercourses like Badger Creek and Basket Creek further delineate the local drainage and topography in this pastoral region.
