About this map

The settlement of Longford serves as a focal point in this section of Clay County, situated where Weda St meets Neighbor Rd. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Chapman Cr and W Chapman Cr, which create a rolling topography dissected by a precise grid of rural section roads. To the north, the community of Oak Hill sits near the county line, while the southern boundary marks the transition from Clay into Dickinson County.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites, including Rose Meron Cem, Swartwood Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem. These landmarks, along with named waterways like Badger Cr and Basket Cr, help trace the historic footprints of family farmsteads. The infrastructure of the area remains deeply rooted in its section-line origins, with routes such as Co Rd 404 and 1st Rd framing the late-period development of this Kansas prairie region.
