About this map

Mcpherson anchors the southern portion of this landscape, showing a dense residential and commercial grid that transitions into the rural expansive sections of central Kansas. Just north of the city center, the terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainages of Paint Cr, Indian Cr, and Bull Cr, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural plains. Smaller settlements like Johnstown and Hilton are captured at their modern crossroads, serving as community nodes along the geometric road network defined by Quivera RD and Pueblo RD.

Modern infrastructure is prominent, including the route of Old US Hwy 81 and the expansive Crestwood Memorial Park on the city's northern edge. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between municipal expansion and the established section lines of T18S and T19S, offering local historians a clear view of how McPherson County's northern suburbs and outlying hamlets integrated with the surrounding prairie environment by the mid-2010s.
