2022 Map of Medicine Lodge

About this map

Medicine Lodge serves as the focal point of this Barber County landscape, positioned where the Medicine Lodge River meets its local tributaries. The town's layout is anchored by the Barber County Courthouse and extends north toward the Barber County State Lake, illustrating a community deeply connected to its water sources. To the northwest, Highland Cem provides a point of genealogical interest overlooking the valley. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern, with Elm Creek, Short Cr, and Threemile Cr carving through the hills. This contemporary survey captures the modern infrastructure of the region, including the Medicine Lodge Airport and the small settlement of Pixley to the southeast. The network of ranch roads and lanes, such as Chain Ranch Rd and Ridge Rd, reflects the ongoing importance of large-scale land management in the Kansas prairie.
