2018 Map of McFarland

About this map

Mill Creek winds through the central corridor of this Wabaunsee County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for numerous tributaries like Kuenzli Cr and Snokomo Cr. The settlement of McFarland occupies a strategic bend in the creek, defined by the infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad and a grid including Wheeler Ave and 1st Ave. This area shows a transition from the structured town sites to the rolling terrain of Clapboard Canyon and the northern reaches of the Flint Hills. Local history is anchored by sites such as Newbury and Paxico, alongside well-documented burial grounds like McFarland Cem and Bethlehem Cem. The road network, with names like Strowigs Mill Rd and Plowboy Rd, suggests the agricultural roots and rural industry that have shaped this portion of the Kansas interior. Small waterways such as Mulberry Cr and Turkey Cr drain the northern sections, reinforcing the region's character as a network of creek valleys and prairie ridges.
