2012 Map of Longford

About this map

Longford serves as a central point of this agricultural landscape in Clay County, where the street grid of Main St and Kansas Ave defines the small settlement. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Chapman Cr and its tributary, W Chapman Cr, which wind through the northern sections, while Badger Cr and Basket Cr cross the southern reaches. This modern survey reflects a persistent rural structure, anchored by several community burial grounds including Swanwood Cem and Rose Meron Cem. To the north, the small community of Oak Hill sits near the headwaters of the local creek systems. The land is precisely divided by a network of rural roads such as Deer Trail Rd and Frontier Rd, illustrating the enduring section-line grid that has organized Kansas farming for generations.
