About this map

The settlement of Pollard serves as the central hub for this portion of Rice County, situated amidst a landscape defined by its grid of rural roads and prairie drainage. The area's history and genealogy are anchored by the Shumway Cemetery in the southwest, while the industrial character of the region is evident at the Kepley Oil Field to the east. Waterways dictate the terrain's natural flow, with the winding course of Little Cow Creek cutting through the western section and the Little Arkansas River making its appearance in the northeast. The intersection of local routes like 15th Rd and Ave F provides a window into the organized land distribution that shaped Kansas ranching and agriculture into the early 21st century.
