2012 Map of McPherson South

About this map

The agricultural and energy landscapes of central Kansas converge south of McPherson, where a dense grid of section roads like Kiowa Rd and Chisholm Rd organizes the prairie. Educational institutions anchor the northern edge of the sheet, notably McPherson Coll and the Central Christian Coll Of Kansas, providing a collegiate character to the outskirts of the city. To the south and west, the smaller settlements of Groveland and Elyria remain as quiet residential nodes amidst an active industrial landscape defined by numerous petroleum resources, including the Groveland Northeast Oil Field and the Voshell Oil Field. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways such as Blaze Fork and Dry Turkey Cr, which flow toward Lake Inman at the southern boundary. This proximity of higher education, local aviation at the Mc Pherson Airport, and extensive oil production illustrates the multifaceted economic identity of the region.
