2009 Map of McFarland

About this map

McFarland and Paxico anchor this part of Wabaunsee County along the winding course of Mill Creek, where the local landscape transition is visible in the grid of farm roads and deep creek drainages. The settlement of Newbury sits further north, connected by a network of named rural routes like Newbury Rd and Cemetery Rd. The importance of water management and local heritage is evident through the McFarland Detention Dam and resting places such as McFarland Cemetery and Bethlehem Cemetery. To the southwest, the terrain becomes more distinct near Clapboard Canyon, while several tributaries including Kuenzli Creek and Snokomo Creek define the drainage patterns of the Flint Hills region. The road names, from Hudson Ranch Rd to Boothill Rd, reflect the ranching and agricultural identity of the area in the early 21st century.
