About this map

McPherson serves as the focal point of this North Central Kansas landscape, where the transition from organized urban streets to vast agricultural sections is clearly defined. The northern reaches of the city are characterized by modern developments like Oak Park Dr and Veranda Cir, while the northern survey sections maintain a traditional rural character. Smaller outposts such as Johnstown and Hilton are situated along the sectional road grid, connected by routes with heritage names like Quivera Rd and Pawnee Rd.

Surface water is a defining feature of the local topography, with Bull Cr and Dry Turkey Cr carving subtle drainage patterns through the terrain. The presence of Crestwood Memorial Park and Clear Pond provides insight into the area's land use and community spaces. This survey captures the region as a primary transit corridor, anchored by Old US Hwy 81 and its modern bypass, reflecting a century of transportation evolution in McPherson County.
