About this map

Longford and Oak Hill anchor this rural landscape in western Clay County, where the grid of sectional roads intersects a rolling drainage system. The settlement of Longford is detailed with its core street plan, including Main St, Durham St, and Santfe Ave, reflecting its historical alignment with regional transport. To the north, Oak Hill sits near the confluence of local tributaries, while the surrounding countryside is marked by several small family and community burial grounds that provide significant value for genealogical research.

Waterways like Chapman Cr and Badger Cr meander through the townships, breaking the regularity of the agricultural plats. The map reveals a dense network of country roads—such as Deer Trail Rd and Frontier Rd—that have served these farming communities for generations. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the Kansas prairie, documenting the persistent placement of local landmarks like Pleasant Valley Cem and Rose Meron Cem against the modern road infrastructure.
