2009 Map of McCracken

About this map

McCracken anchors this Western Kansas landscape, appearing here as a grid-plan settlement surrounded by the vast drainage systems of the High Plains. The town is situated at a critical hydraulic junction where Big Timber Creek and Snake Creek converge, shaping the local topography and road layout. The 2009 survey highlights the intersection of rural life and municipal order, with the local street grid including W Elm Ave and Ash Ave giving way to a structured network of section roads like Ave K and Co Rd 524. To the south of the main residential area, the McCracken Cemetery provides a significant touchstone for genealogists and local historians. Further south, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Alexander Dry Creek, illustrating the intermittent water patterns characteristic of Rush County's agricultural environment.
