1978 Map of Meades Ranch

About this map

Meades Ranch serves as the primary focal point of this North Central Kansas survey, notable for its designation as a Geodetic Base Point. This location represents a fundamental datum for surveying across North America, situated where the townships of Jackson, Delhi, and Winfield meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Wolf Creek, which drains toward the southern boundary near the line between Osborne Co and Russell Co. Local history is anchored by the Delhi Cem and smaller water features like Lake Hobbie. The mapping of townships such as Luray and Fairview reflects the agricultural grid system of the late 1970s, intersected by a prominent Pipeline that cuts across the rural landscape, illustrating the infrastructure of the era.
