2022 Map of McPherson South

About this map

McPherson and its southern agricultural hinterlands are defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding paths of Blaze Fork and Dry Turkey Creek. The city itself is a hub of higher education, anchored by McPherson College and the Central Christian College of Kansas. At the heart of the community stands the McPherson County Courthouse, surrounded by a dense residential and commercial street plan including historic thoroughfares like Chisholm Rd and Old US Hwy 81. To the south, the small settlements of Groveland and Elyria reflect the region's enduring farming roots, while the McPherson Airport and McPherson Cem serve as essential local landmarks. This landscape maintains a clear distinction between the organized municipal layout of the north and the expansive, creek-fed fields that stretch toward the southern boundaries.
