2018 Map of McPherson South

About this map

McPherson serves as the primary hub of this landscape, its residential grid and industrial areas tapering south into the agricultural plains of central Kansas. The geography is defined by a network of creeks and drainage forks, including Bull Creek and the meandering path of Dry Turkey Creek, which cut through the township sections. Small rural clusters at Groveland and Elyria represent the satellite settlements that support the regional farming economy. In the northern reaches, civic life is reflected in the layout of Lakeside Park and Centennial Lake Paths and the McPherson Cemetery. The map also preserves the paths of several significant rural corridors, such as Chisholm Road and Cimarron Road, which follow the long-established section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the persistent 19th-century grid imposed upon the prairie.
